Yahoo Announce Doctor Of Their Own (and ISoS use humour to disguse a serious message)
October 14th, 2005 by mike
In the “Monkey see, Monkey do” world of Search engines, always-the-bridesmaid-never-the-bride Yahoo have announced that, hot on the heels of the announcement of Google Tooth, Yahoo have employed their own on-site doctor.
“It was so hard seeing even more free publicity go the way of Google”, a Yahoo mole told ISoS. “We just had to one up them (editor’s note: pun FULLY intended)”.
And the new doctor? We think the logo says it all:
When quizzed as to why, given all the doctors in the world they could have hired, they hired this particularly unsavoury type, the Yahoo Mole responded:
“Look, no one gives any love, especially not free, positive PR love. But everyone just lurves Google. They are so Kitsch and 21st century. We knew that, to have a chance of getting any publicity, we had to do something extreme. And lets get real: Doctors don’t come much more extreme that this!
“Besides”, the Mole ranted on. “Prostate cancer is a silent killer. Did you know that “…a man is 33% more likely to develop prostate cancer than an American woman is to get breast cancer”? I bet you didn’t!
“But cause breasts are all like sexy and stuff, but prostates are ever so icky, Prostate cancer doesn’t get the publicity that Breast cancer does. As an employer of many men in the danger ages, we felt that this would make a serious statement about a Men’s Health, and get us some PR and love that Google always gets.”
ISoS considered approaching Ask and MSN to see what their hoax doctor was going to be, but we were, quite frankly, too scared. Topping a Proctolgist is a real challenge, and if any one actually pulled it off, EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!
(Editor’s Note: Edu-tainment, does humour get any better?)
