Adventures in Epic Fail – The Publishing Company

One of my business associates is a very talented guy who has worked mostly in sales, he has worked in a variety of industries and as a result I come in contact with a lot of interesting people throughout a workday. This week he ordered some signs from a company in Ohio that he performed some services for last year, the company took his artwork and without so much as sending my guy an estimate this printing company started the process of printing them. If that wasn’t crazy enough they arrived today with the invoice and to my guy’s chagrin each and every one came fucked up. Alright I’m going overboard here but the colors were way off and then the company that printed them had the audacity to try and blame my guy for the incorrect colors. What a crock of shit.

About 20 minutes ago I went on their website to read about them. Hilarity ensued. Least professional printing company website of the year award goes to? These guys. I won’t name names but I did take a copy of the relevant text and pasted it into word so I could add my own comments. You can see the unedited text below this post, I will refrain from sharing my edits until I see how this all unfolds.

Purchase Expired Yo

Program glitch much?

I am restoring my Mac today and in the process putting back on one of my favorite games Wingnuts 2, I purchased it alongside a slew of other random apps during Macheist this past year. While I might not use much of the software I got through that I found this top down shooter to be like those arcade classics I played as a kid. In any case the download link I have from Macheist didn’t work so I had to request a new link from them via support. After the download I go to register it and I get one of the worst programmed error screens ever, Yo!

I hate DRM and I hate it even more when developers step on customers, now I have to submit a second support ticket to them to get this activated. If I went over to a torrent site I would wager a copy could be obtained in an hour that didn’t put me through any of these hoops, Yo!
