Connecticut.com is still run by retards

Sunday Mar 6th 2005

I think everyone does this from time to time. You’ve probably typed www.[yourstate].com just to see what shows up. Sometimes it’s something good, sometimes not so good.

Before continuing, you should be aware that true official state web sites are simply [state abbreviation].gov, such as ct.gov, ma.gov, ri.gov and so on… just take the abbreviation of the state and put dot gov after it.

Anyway..

Connecticut.com has been owned by a company (not the state) for as long as I can remember. For years (and I mean years) the domain just sat there with a really BAD web design and nothing ever happened with that site. It was never updated and it just turned into a graveyard. I mean seriously, they could have done so much more with it. I would have, anyway.

Today I take a look at it after not looking at it for a long time. It finally changed. Hooray. Now it says:

“New Portal Coming Soon!”

Um, yeah, we’ve heard that before. Try again, guys.

“Visit the Govonor’s Mansion Christmas Decoration 2004″

Yes, you saw that correctly: “Govonor”. It’s misspelled. It should be Governor.

Hooray, Connecticut! Our state-name-dot-com is run by retards who don’t know how to use a spell checker or that it’s even 2005! Whoopee!

Additionally, that “Govonor” link goes to something called “Interventions into Natural Spaces”. Hmm.. sounds dirty to me. Maybe someone over there likes cattle prods in the pooper. Who’s to say for sure.

Anyway, Connecticut.com sucks, and it’s run by retards. I would much rather see a “page not found” than what’s on there now… or at the very least correct the darn spelling. Might be nice to fix the busted link at the bottom, too.

I have absolutely no tolerance for people who can’t spell. Yes, I make spelling errors also, BUT.. at least mine aren’t in BIG HUGE TEXT for the whole world to read.
