Check out the instructions below to see how this ultra-cool tea kettle works.  Click the image to enlarge for better viewing.

No matter how many times I have heard that type of comment, it STILL makes me cringe and want to pummel something (or someone).  In the end, I console myself with the likelihood that the attempt to create their own website will be a giant FAIL!

In the category of “FAIL” and “My job is harder than you know” as well as “I hope we don’t end up on your site”, comes YourLogoMakesMeBarf courtesy of a tweet from @creattica earlier today.  YLMMB is a humorous look at what happens when the untrained and unskilled attempt something that requires just a wee bit more skill and talent than most folks have.

The Ten Commandments of Barfy Logos made me cry from laughing – the perfect combination of DOH! and sarcasm and OMG WTH were they thinking.

So grab your barf bag before you head on over to YLMMB and never ever forget Commandment #9:  Thou shalt not take thy ’swoosh’ in vein.
