ISoS Appologise For Quoting Real Statistcs
October 14th, 2005 by mike
It has come to the attention of the ISoS editors that, in our previous post, Yahoo Announce Doctor Of Their Own (and ISoS use humour to disguse a serious message), a hidden message attempting to educate people about Prostate Cancer was slipped in.
Whilst this post met or exceeded the extraordinarily high standard of on-topic, relevant hillarity and satire that you have come to expect from ISoS, the message was an unfortunate occurance that ISoS deeply regret.
ISoS wishes to appologise abolutely, whole heartedly and without reservation for this attempt to both make a serious point and to educate our readership. It was uncalled for, unjustified and, quite frankly, outlandish.
We accept that, for a blog that usually produces works of pure fiction and conducts made up research, real statistics and a message was over stepping the mark by a wide margin, and was simply too much for many viewers.
We accept we aren’t a serious Blog like all those Google Blogs and Search Engine Watch. We really do. We further accept that we should not attempt to be, and we will no longer attempt to compete with “serious” blogs, on any level.
We fully understand and concur with the furore that this editorial decision to accept an article with real statistics and a message has caused. To make ammends, we hearby, in public, promise never to do it again, except in such circumstances that the real stats are funny or come in an inherently humorous radar graph format.
In future, ISoS promise to maintain an editorial standard that dictates all entries contain no educational messages, hidden or otherwise, and any statistics, figures or facts quoted will be 100% made up, and purely the fictional product of either Michael or Scottie’s mind.
Our focus remains, as always, to provide you with the laugh you have demanded, and we are dedicated to forging ahead and creating the sort of outstanding tools Bored Marketers demand, such as our recently released and highly amusing Search tool.
We further promise to never again use Google for ill, like searching for legitimate information that informs, but only to find humourous pictures, graphs, equations or people to make fun of.
Of this you have our word.
Our most humble and sincere appologies,
The Whole Frickin’ ISoS Team
