    Evidence that NBN Co is evil

    Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

    The below is taken from a freeze frame of one of NBN Co’s latest promo videos.

    We’d like to see Mike Quigley explain that in a Senate Estimates committee hearing. Although his response, should Liberal attack dog Simon Birmingham raise it, would likely be the same one Megatron gave to Starscream: ““It’s just such ignorance which forever relegates you to the ranks of underling.”

      Appears to be a graphic designer – us developers have long known them to be evil regardless of the company they work for.

        I have always thought graphic designers to be a kindred spirit. I’m broadly chaotic good, while I have found them to be chaotic evil. So we agree on method if not the ultimate aim :)
