That Fucking PaperClip!!!!

[Calum]

microsoft have actually got a page, three movies and one song about how shit the paperclip is to advertise the fact that it doesn't appear in office XP! how screwy is that?

and Office XP has me sweating (and rusting).

Why? Because Office XP works so easily that it's made Office Assistants like me useless. Obsolete. And, I'm told, hideously unattractive.

They even cut my pay, despite the fact that I work for free!

I've taken over this space to share my pathetic story and show off my skills as a Web designer. Not bad, huh? Know anyone who's hiring?

For years I've told you what to do. Now it's your turn. What should I do with all my newfound spare time? Vote at this online poll. (Note: Dimpled chads will not be counted. So make sure you press the computer screen firmly.)

And another thing: Out of sorrow can come great art

Yeah, it's nuts.  What's more nuts is that those who have Office XP (I won't touch it myself) tell me that the paperclip is still there....

Clippy's dark side is the real reason M$ fired his ass:

Damn that paperclip is annoying, but nowhere near as bad as that mother fucking dog.

You know where that dog came from don't you? They brought him back from the dead from Microsoft Bob. Yep, seems like pushing Bob on people all at once like they tried to do in 1995 they are bringing it back one step at a time starting with fucking Rover. And if I remember right, Rover was by no means an innovation, they stole him from the dog pound.

An animated help character is annoying no matter what OS/software you use. I'm glad to see that damn paperclip out of the picture in OfficeXP. I always disabled him anyways. I always disable that stupid dog search assistant too. I don't need a cartoon trying to help me use my system.
