Marketing -
I was recently on the customer-800-number phone to Tropicana, a producer of Orange (and other) juices in the USA (now owned by PepsiCo).
It was related to them still creating beverages flavored colored with insect extract. This was a minor scandal some years back and they removed it from a few products. At the time it was referred to as cochineal extract.
Now, still in use, they used an alternate name for the same dye: carmine.
Anyway, I was told, amongst other things, that marketing decided that pink grapefruit juice beverages (which turn out to be less than 1/3 grapefruit although it's marketed as grapefruit 100% juice) must be pink as a monkey's ass in heat.
So - my suggestion when you meet marketing is to puke on someone, excuse yourself, and leave.

I know is only a Hardly Rideable but its still a massive waste
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

Ashes to Ashes,
Rust to Rust,
In sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life,
Provided the battery hasn't gone flat again,
And the electrics shuffled off this mortal coil,
And even more mortal points."

Monday morning. The Article approval queue is full of rubbish.
Two articles are advertising SEO optimization, another two are blatant spam and the 5th has posted an exact copy of another CP article, claiming that it was his and the account got deleted (and he wasn't able to get it back alive).
Gonna be a great week.

And the third one is a known plagiarist and I just haven't found where he copied it from yet...

From his comments yesterday, I don't think he is going to tell us...

Where do I find a full list of articles needing approval? On the front page is never more than five.

Don't you start!
The list of the five latest submissions on the front page is all you get - which is bally annoying when a competition is on and the whole damn queue fills up with worthless trash that "pushes" the real material out of view for a couple of hours. It wouldn't be so bad if the entries had any chance of winning, but we have to moderate and approve this massive list of "me too" drivel before we can even see the "good" stuff.

After 15 years of marriage, a wife asked her husband to describe her. He looked at her slowly and without blinking an eye, said: ABCDEFGHIJK.
"What does that mean?" she asked.
"Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Fashionable, Gorgeous and Hot" he replied.
Smiling, she asked: What about IJK?
He replied: I'm Just Kidding!
