I apparently missed this last year, likely due to the fog of war on cancer at the time.

I apparently missed this last year, likely due to the fog of war on cancer at the time. It seems it was covered in numerous big-time journalism type things, you know, newspapers and stuff, as well as on teh webs. The company they are lambasting still exists, I am simultaneously unsurprised and appalled to note. Anyway, the Jezebel post fulfills my need for amusement inducing snark and righteousness. Unusually, the comments are even more fun (mostly). My favorite comment excerpt:

While reviews used to read like entertaining anecdotes from your witty friends, the majority became either overly-fawning mad-libs peppered with twee portmanteaus (amazeballs!) or poorly cobbled together strings of insecure argle bargle by middle management types who seem to require grief counseling after receiving a sugar-free vanilla latte that wasn't just so.
