Google’s idiot
Anybody out there use Gmail? I do, and still haven’t gotten familiar with its user interface. After failing to achieve fluency in using the program, I have given up and come up with a possible explanation for its incredibly difficult layout. Ever since Google started to recruit employees with its arcane and really clever newspaper, magazine and billboard ads, they made the unmistakable impression that only the brightest should even think of applying for a job there. Naturally, this upset folks who reacted to a company which insisted on having even high-IQ toilet scrubbers and scullery maids, so in response Google broke down and hired a certifiable Village Idiot to appease its critics. But what do you do with a drooling mouth breather? I know! I know! Put him/her/it in charge of designing the User Interface in Gmail! Will Gmail ever get out of beta? Not with the Idiot making you search all over the page for the function you want! Every time the Idiot makes another confusing change, the bosses reward him with an hour’s worth of Dumpster diving where he/she/it comes up with even more insane ideas!
