Astounding Hyperlinked Noticeboard

I see this sign on the noticeboard in the staff kitchen every day, and thought I ought to share the wry little WTF it invokes, every last time.

sorry i redacted it slightly; i think the guilty deserve some protection too; they're just hard working kids in the end)

And the worst thing is, I had to read it twice to understand what the problem was. I'm broken.



'http://' on Sat, 13 Jun 2009 20:19:34 GMT, sez:

i still don't get it

to "http://": How do you click on a hyperlink in real life?



'David H' on Sun, 14 Jun 2009 22:31:03 GMT, sez:

But have you seen anyone actually trying to 'click' that link? THAT would be the real WTF ; )

Two things.

1), I'm with Eira. Had to read it twice. Then it went DUH! and I had to laugh.

2) I liked the captcha for this comment. Reminded me of KoToR. :)

3) There is no three.

10 things:
01: This photo is SO Failblog
10: SG's captcha is the least sophisticated captcha on the whole interwebs (I think it's changed once in 2 years)

I did a charity quiz night recently where the information about the charity they printed out had hyperlinks all over it.

Nobody seemed to understand why I was laughing.
