Rodney Dangerfield Would Empathize
July 3rd, 2005
I checked out the Live 8 site. Thought I might buy a T-shirt or something, but the commerce portion of the site was down and told me to come back in a half hour. So I clicked around. Decided to check the global concert schedule, then for the heck of it took a look at the metatags for the page. Check it out:
meta name=”keywords” content=”Live 8 concerts, live 8, the long walk to justice, live 8 show, live8 charity concert, make poverty history, live aid concerts, live aid tickets, london, paris, berlin, rome, philidelphia”
Let’s be honest: In the Sesame Street game of “one of these things is not like the others” Philly isn’t quite in the class of London, Paris, Rome, and Berlin.
Fine.
But jeez, people — at least spell it correctly, willya?

You are an idiot and you really need to get a life. Who cares? Goddamn idiot.

Anyone involved in the creation and/or marketing of web sites, particularly high-profile sites, ought to care enough about important details to get them right.
Nice to see that you were touched by the spirit of Live 8. Thanks for stopping by.

I am as touched by the spirit of LIVE 8 as VH1 and MTV were based on their extraordinary coverage.
I apologize for calling you an idiot twice. Once was sufficient.
Also, if it’s not important for our President to get details right, than surely it’s not for the creator of the Live 8 site.
