You mean <a href="http://www.fuckedcompany.com">Fucked Company</a>? I'll never understand people who have a hangup about profanity ...comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.3598-22905Sun, 08 Oct 2000 08:35:22 -0800rcadeBy: daddyray

i can't get too excited over the name or any other profanity.imagine you are a credit officer at a large american lending institution and you want to keep tabs on the dotcoms of the world. in the 'big brother' environment of large corporate web access, you'd be risking your access priviledges and/or your career if you surfed to and book marked fucked company. the porn filters the IT snoops installed on the firewall would catch and report you and you would have one of those all too uncomfortable meetings with the boss.
sadly this is the situation in north america. true independant thought is lauded and promoted but rarely tolerated. although, dot com flop tracker lacks all of the market appeal of fuckedcompany.com. i had to scroll up the post to remember the name. never gonna have that problem with FC now am i? comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.3598-22912Sun, 08 Oct 2000 09:43:31 -0800daddyrayBy: Doug

I actually had no idea what Steven was talking about. Fucked is vulgar? I think we're pretty much to the point where fuck is about as offensive and vulgar as suck, or crap. And progress moves along...comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.3598-22915Sun, 08 Oct 2000 10:17:33 -0800DougBy: Steven Den Beste

My reason for thinking people would want to avoid that other site had nothing to do with the vulgarity of the name, but rather due to the complaints I've read here about the low quality of the posts on that site.comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.3598-22925Sun, 08 Oct 2000 11:07:33 -0800Steven Den BesteBy: circumstance

There is a difference between a rumor and a reported fact. Any site with the name fucked company probably isnt going to be too keen on fact checking.comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.3598-22991Sun, 08 Oct 2000 23:10:43 -0800circumstance
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
