I had been watching the latest episode of Alphas, saw Zak Penn listed as co-creator, and suddenly felt like that name was familiar. I wondered if there was anything else I knew him from. The following text exchange ensued.
Me: Who is Zak Penn?
ChaCha: Zak Krug is on Facebook. Facebook gives people the power to share and makes the world more open and connected.
Me: What has Zak Penn done on TV?
ChaCha: Could you please specify who "She" is? If you do that ChaCha would love to tell you what "she" has done on TV!
Me: Tell me what Zak Penn has done on TV.
ChaCha: The institutions that are responsible for local government within states are typical town,... For more go to [a link]
Me: Wow. Clearly nobody's even reading my question. You people suck sometimes. This is not difficult to google. Look up Zak Penn on IMDb & tell me about him.
ChaCha: KeVontae Hairlson attends Henderson County's High School and plays basketball on the basketball team. He wears the number 4.
Me: I. Hate. You.
ChaCha: I don't hate you. Thank you for using ChaCha!
Me: Then answer my question. Who is Zak Penn?
ChaCha: We found millions of A's but not to that Q.
Me: Zak Penn
ChaCha: Zak Penn wrote, and directed Incident at Loch Ness, and The Grand. He also co-wrote the script for X-Men: The Last Stand.
Me: THANK YOU. See, that wasn't so difficult. You just have to not be dumb.
ChaCha: Thank you. Can I help you with another question?
Me: HAHAHAHA. Nope. I'm done asking you guys for answers. It shouldn't take me 8 tries to get a simple answer.
ChaCha: Then ask how do you do this math problem
Me: LOL LOL whaaat? That response didn't even make sense. That was so dumb I can't even tell if you're a lazy expeditor or a horrible automatic search.
ChaCha: Yo mama's so fat when she wears a yellow raincoat, people said "Taxi! All Hail Chacha!
(Yeah, there's no close quote on it. The joke loses some effect if the people are hailing ChaCha...)
Me: ...OK, this is all going on my blog as proof of how much you suck.
ChaCha: I'm sorry those services aren't provided by ChaCha and are illegal in the State I work in. Thanks for asking though.
Me: ...You live someplace where blogs are illegal?
ChaCha: I personally don't blog at webblog but if you're interesting in blogging about something you're passionate about, give it a try!
Wow. Just... wow. Seriously, I wouldn't think people are even working on these questions anymore, except for the fact that the answers are *so* bad that an automatic search would almost certainly do better. It takes a human to screw up this terribly.
I have sooo been there...
ReplyDeleteI don't even know how this kind of thing HAPPENS.
