And the people responsible were fired, right? Right?
No?
Well there’s your problem right there. That’s how common sensediesunlives on the altar of corporate profits.Curious if they ever did that to anyone from Gaylord, MI or even just Gay, MI.
My Uncle Winky used to own a bar in Gay called the Gay Bar. It’s still there, although under different management. I literally went there this morning because I’m on vacation in Keweenaw, they have some raunchy-ass merch.
Give them a break, they were searching in Bing.
TIL Bing was launched in 2009. That can’t be right.
So the comment I’m replying to could be right on the money.
Bing was just a rebrand, Live/MSN Search was a thing for a decade or so at that point.
I just went and checked Microsoft Encarta 2005, even that finds Fort Gay
Came here to make that exact joke. Have my upvote.
there’s a common last name in some Sioux heritage… Killsenemy and a bunch of years ago a lot of American Indians with the last name were getting their accounts banned but the pale people with the same last name we not.
probably due to the n8v way of pointing out it’s KillsEnemy
Fort Gay erasure.
I always find that shit like this could be very easily resolved by a single person going on
Google MapsBing maps and searching for the place.There are many places with seemingly stupid names.
This is a pretty textbook example of the Scunthorpe Problem.
Oh I live not too far from Scunthorpe. Believe me, it’s always been a problem 👍
And there’s the problem. It wasn’t so much they refused to acknowledge the city existed. The company refused to acknowledge they had to provide support staff beyond seeing a ticket and closing the ticket.
Intercourse, PA ; checking in.
The customer support center was probably locked from accessing any website except a tightly controlled set of pages and tools. Even Maps is too easy to turn into a game. Look at Geoguesser.
I remember in high school we would use MS Paint and an eraser tool to make a game where you had to trace over a similar sized line and whoever had the most erased without backtracking won. Point being, people will make a game out of anything so
petty tyrantsmanagers have to lock that shit down to focus their people on the work.
Like Scunthorpe
Lol
In 2008, Microsoft confirmed that its policy to prevent the use of words relating to sexual orientation had meant that Richard Gaywood’s name was deemed offensive and could not be used in his “gamertag” or in the “Real Name” field of his bio.[42]
How does this exact issue happen twice
Are you not allowed to be gay on Xbox?
Dick Gaywood is probably the funniest name in history. I hope he’s a supply teacher.
I don’t know.
Dr Rod Badcock has a fairly good claim. It is such a pornstar name.
I had a supply teacher named Mike Hunt. He rolled with it. He said “You can call me Mike, or you can call me Mr Cunt”.
Strange how they haven’t been forced by Turnip to change their name yet.
Gaymer
