I've just stumbled across this great corporate website. At first I thought it was real (and run by a group of arrogant you-know-whats...) Then I carried on reading and quickly realised that all was not as it seemed.
This fake site is full of golden quotes but here are a few of my favourites:
'Our main consulting strategy is to convince clients that we do stuff they can't do themselves, and that we deserve lots of money for it. The best way to do this is to always look good, and always sound like we know something you don't. Because we do.
Are you confused yet? Of course you are. And that's just how we like it. Our marketing professionals are constantly coming up with new ways to make you feel inferior and stupid. Because you are. And we're not. We're new-age, eMoving, marketing consultants.'
and:
'We have lots of shiny espresso machines, and all of our new-age eMovers (that's our cool way to say "consultants," remember?) drive to work in VW Beetles. Appearance is everything to us, because we'll get more of your money by looking cool than we will by doing quality work.
If you call our office, the phone will be answered by a very disinterested intern, giving you the impression that we're too important to talk to you. Because we are.'
If you're at the end of your working day, you're running out of enthusiasm and you've suddenly come down from that sugar and caffeine high you had been surfing since lunchtime, have a look at the Huh? website. It's a great laugh. And we all know of a couple of companies out there that are sailing dangerously close to being true-to-form Huh? corporations!
Kudos to the person that came up with this site. I salute you.
