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.

Not a Good Day For ChaCha
Sometimes asking ChaCha is just plain frustrating. Jacob and I were discussing the Les Mis movie coming out this December and couldn't remember who was playing Marius. So I figured I'd ask ChaCha. This ensued over the course of the next half hour.
ChaCha: In the 1998 film version of "Les Miserable" (note: that is not a typo from me - it's from them) starring Claire Danes, Marius is played by Hans Matheson!
Me: I hate when you people don't even read my question. Let's try again. In the 2012 musical movie version of Les Mis starring Hugh Jackman, who is playing Marius?
ChaCha: We found millions of A's, but not to that Q.
Me: Oh, for pete's sake. Who's playing Marius in the 2012 movie version of Les Miserables?
ChaCha: There is no Gavroche in the 2012 movie "Les Miserables." They must have taken out the character or maybe it is not cast yet. Amanda Seyfried will play Cosette. Anne Hathaway will play Fantine. Sacha Baron Cohen will play Monsieur Thnardier. (Again, not my own typo.)
Me: I did not ask about Gavroche. I asked about Marius. Who is playing MARIUS in the 2012 movie musical of Les Miserables? This is not difficult to find.
ChaCha: We found millions of A's, but not to that Q.
Me: Who's playing Marius in the 2012 movie musical version of Les Miserables? I will keep texting until I get an answer.
ChaCha: We found millions of A's, but not to that Q.
Me: Who's playing Marius in the 2012 movie musical version of Les Miserables? I will keep texting until I get an answer.
ChaCha: Hmm... we sent that Answer to you already!
Me: YOU DID NOT. You sent me a bunch of other random info and never once answered my question. Who is cast as Marius in the new movie of Les Mis?
ChaCha: We found millions of A's, but not to that Q.
Me: Who's playing Marius in the 2012 movie musical version of Les Miserables?
ChaCha: Hmm... we sent that Answer to you already! Txt GETNEW to get a new answer.
Me: Getnew
ChaCha: There is no Gavroche in the 2012 movie "Les Miserables." They must have taken out the character or maybe it is not cast yet. Amanda Seyfried will play Cosette. Anne Hathaway will play Fantine. Sacha Baron Cohen will play Monsieur Thnardier.
Me: Who's playing Marius in the 2012 movie musical version of Les Miserables?
ChaCha: Hmm... we sent that Answer to you already! Txt GETNEW to get a new answer.
Me: Getnew
ChaCha: We found millions of A's, but not to that Q.
(15 minutes later, Jacob and I found a computer and actually looked up the answer. First Google hit for "2012 les miserables" is the IMDb page, which lists the cast member right there.)
Me: Eddie Redmayne is playing Marius in the 2012 Les Mis movie. That took me like 15 seconds to find on Google. You should have been able to find it. Sigh.
ChaCha: Snap! That answer is still a mystery to us.
