The subtitle person is clueless and misses the entire point of the joke, as does the "WIN" labeller.
This cheque is from the "verizon can't do math" argument from a few years ago - Verizon advertised, repeatedly, in writing, a rate of 0.002 cents per kb for data transfer, charged 0.002 DOLLARS per kb for data transfer, and their billing agents couldn't understand the difference between dollars and cents. Repeatedly.
For reasons totally unrelated to this, an acquaintance and I once decided that if we ever had a need to hire employees, the final hiring interview would contain some United-States-High-School-Curriculum-Level math and science questions, and anyone who was unable to answer the questions while cut off from the Internet and phones within a reasonable frame of time would be passed over for hiring.
This, however, would not stop us from asking a series of progressively more-difficult questions if the candidate did not answer the most basic questions correctly, starting with the most basic question: How did you arrive at your current opinion as to the age of the Earth? Please be detailed and specific.
Not "what is the correct age of the earth" not "do you accept or reject creationism or evolutionary theory/science"
Just 'How did you intend to get out of the mousetrap'?

Meaning, that's 0.002 -1 +1.

Huh... You're right. I probably need new glasses. Still, the "WHAT NOW, BITCHES?" in the memo field flat out rocks.

I don't like failblog much. They fail way, way too often.
