You know what bugs the hell out of me?

 
Those freaking Yellowbook.com ads with David Carradine.

Let me guess. Some old-school, telephone company marketing boss thinks that advertising his search engine on TV is pure genius. So he's decided to burn millions of dollars to drive people to an... online version of the yellow pages. As opposed to, say, hiring the best damn software developers on the planet and creating a beautiful, innovative user experience.

I tried to use Yellowbook.com once and it to say it sucked is a little like saying Mount Rushmore is a cleverly shaped rock.

I wonder how much Google advertises on television, Mr. Marketing Genius?
