Hullabaloo

Chapman: Trouble at mill.
Cleveland: Oh no – what kind of trouble?
Chapman: One on’t cross beams gone owt askew on treadle.
Cleveland: Pardon?
Chapman: One on’t cross beams gone owt askew on treadle.
Cleveland: I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Chapman: [slightly irritatedly and with exaggeratedly clear accent] One of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treadle.
Cleveland: Well what on earth does that mean?
Chapman: I don’t know – Mr Wentworth just told me to come in here and say that there was trouble at the mill, that’s all – I didn’t expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

There’s been a little “discussion” on various blogs about the shockingly shocking revelation that Matt Mullenweg might be using WordPress and it’s Google Page Rank to make some filthy lucre…

Personally I don’t care what Matt does with the WordPress site, just so long as the support forums and downloads are easy to find, so when people say “Ok, I just lost any respect I may have had for WordPress” I can’t help but say “get over yourself.”

Seriously? I’d jump at the chance to make money for doing liteally nothing, I’m sure most would… Sure, it’s an ethically grey area, but I’d agree with Jonas Luster in hardly calling it spamming, WordPress isn’t the first to manupulate Google in this way and they sure won’t be the last, so why not make a quick buck along the way? Fair fucks to them I say…

I’m sure Matt didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition… After all, NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition!
