Forbes Lists Top Corporate Hate Web Sites

windowpain writes "You've seen them. Maybe you've made one, like Walmart-blows.com or Paypalsucks.com. Now Forbes.com has a 'Special Report' devoted to what it considers the best of them. 'The following nine sites--there were ten, but one went unexpectedly dark during the editing of this story--are the crème de la crème of online rage. Note that we substantially cleaned up some of the posts, editing out odd capitulation schemes, iffy grammar and plain incoherence. Apparently blinding anger does not go hand in hand with dotting your i's and crossing your t's.' Maybe this will become an annual thing like the Forbes 400 and the Fortune 500." (I wonder what a capitulation scheme is.)

I wonder what a capitulation scheme is.

They probably meant "odd capitalization scheme." YoU THiNk, hUh?

Actually, at first I read it as "odd copulation schemes," which makes a lot more sense, doesn't it? * fp

Why Slashdot didn't make the cut

It's really a multi purpose hate site, hating so many things/companies. This list was more directed to sites that hated a single thing/company.

how come there's not a 'forbes-sucks.com'?

how come there's not a 'forbes-sucks.com'?

I expect it'll be registered pretty soon. Forbes actually does own "forbessucks.com"

Apparently they're aware of their suckiness.

If someone wanted to let the rest of the world know about Forbes' suckiness, forbesreallysucks.com and fuckforbes.com both seem to be available.

Where does one get a job like this ?

To honor these quixotic champions, we spent hours trawling the Web looking for the very best corporate hate sites.

They didn't get my favourite

There's this great anti-Microsoft website that I visit, now and then.

Re:How do they decide?

[ArsenneLupin]

Whether to go with 'sucks' or 'blows.'

Depends on the product, I guess. Saying that a vacuum sucks would be a compliment. So it blows. For a similar reason, a badly broken hairdryer sucks...

If Microsoft ever made a product that wouldn't suck, it would be a vacuum cleaner!

I didn't see electrolux sucks either.

I interviewed at UPS and we did a tour, a monitor fell off a conveyor belt. Everyone heard the tube pop, and the crash of glass, but one of the employees just tossed it back as if nothing had happened.

That sucks, but the person that shipped these monitors should have put them in boxes.

Re:what about slashdot?

[pedantic bore]

Slashdot story topics:

• Some geopolitical entity is considering wifi.
• Windows has security flaws. Microsoft is evil.
• Google did something. Therefore, they'll be doing something tangentially related soon. They're a refreshingly different kind of evil.
• OMG, someone posted a release candidate for *BSD/*zilla/KDE/Gnome! God bless the OSS developers.
• I have a stupid question and I want to see how many identical answers I can get.
• Roland what's-his-name thinks this is news.
• News for nerds
• Stuff that matters
