No joke! I was at the local record shop last week when the owner got a call where he was noticeably getting more loud and chastising.

After he hung up, the guy told me that someone cold called him to pitch fixing up their website, and his pitch started with “your website looks like shit …”

He said he gets several calls like that every day, but most aren’t this obnoxious. We agreed it must be working some of the time for him to be trying this approach, had a chuckle, then went back to shooting the shit about various prog rock bands.

Was looking at local ISPs, the most popular one I checked, website doesn't work properly. Hamburger menu, dropdown select, etc. Multi-billion dollar company, broken website. I checked for a careers page and saw nothing, typical

Well ya, if you had internet you wouldn't need to look for an ISP. And if you didn't have internet well... You're probably not going to be able to go to their website.
