Arghhhh! I just went to login to Twitter, and was greeted with this little nugget above. First off, where is the Fail Whale? Perhaps he ran off with the Technorati Monster? The bigger question of course is why sites think that using cute, whimsical characters will lessen the blow when visitors find their site down.
It’s got me thinking, however… While it doesn’t make me any less angry, maybe others feel differently… after all, who can blame a silly little whale?
So, here’s me testing out the theory:
Dear John
It has been great spending the past 5 years of my life with you. I was beyond thrilled when you proposed in front of everyone at the Yankees game yesterday. However, as much as I care for you, I’ve been sleeping with your best friend Dan. I’m pregnant. And it’s not yours.
But anyway, how adorable are these puppies? Omg, what a little pack of precious furballs wrapped up in cuteness! Gifts from heaven, that is what they are!
Best,
Kristen

Using the word “nugget” when not referring to Gold, is not acceptable. I makes me do the bad shiver.
Oh, I hear ya. Get ready for a ridiculous number of references to goodies, nuggets and gems – not to mention gross overuse of the word awkward.
Enjoy the ride – you’ll be gyrating in your seat in no time.
