| You are humiliating me in front of the parrot |
Here’s another ad featuring people with unreasonable problems regarding simple tasks and services.
Falling asleep at your computer? Staring into space during work? Well you should be fired. Go home.
But wait now you can download a screensaver that will keep you awake! I feel the need to point out the obvious, that your screensaver only comes up typically after you’ve been idle for many many minutes, and you can only enjoy it while your computer remains inoperable. And of course there’s the fact you’re staring mindlessly into a screensaver. But I guess the people who want to stare into a screensaver are just the sort of people who will respond to this ad.
Click above or below to look at this minute long featurette regarding the end of the age where one must sit bored at work, motionless, with no screensaver to keep them company as they remain immobile for eight hours straight.

Yup, yup, mm hmm, mm hmm - just what your employer wants - you installing freeware *cough*SPYWARE*cough on a machine on the company’s intranet. And how, pray tell, is staring at a damned screensaver all day any diferent from, uh, napping for 8 hours, productivity-wise? And what IS with the binoculars, Einstein?
