Introducing Monday
"We've got your name, la la la...."
I bet there are a few red faces at a certain consultancy firm at the moment....

Does PWC Consulting even have a ".co.uk" domain now? Perhaps they just don't care.

Gave me a laugh, but I have to concur with FreezBoy: do you think they care? And is cyber-squatting legal in the UK?

PWC faces should be red enough just from settling on such a silly new name in the first place. But this new twist makes an amusing addendum to a previous discussion (in case you missed it the first time round).

Those hands are just creepy for some reason.

That little ditty is going to be stuck in my head all day. Thanks a bunch.

those are the wierdest, palest, ginger hands I have ever seen. If my sister ever brings home a guy with hands like that.....

They probably didn't register it in lots of ccTLDs. Why would they?

It's still not as addictive as this weird "Dog in a Coat" Flash movie I saw once...(british accent) "Dog in a coat, dog in a coat, dog in a coat, dog in a coat..... Dog in a coat!"

British people are weird.

That's a nice ass you got there!

What's with the guy's hands? Is that skin cancer or what??

Yeah, I'm sure if PriceWaterhouseCooperMonday et.al, want the domain, they'll be able to get it under squatting laws, which I've been told do apply in GB.

But, that still doesn't forgive the stupid name Monday in the first place. :)

And those hands...tre creepy! I agree.

Wonder what the meeting was like to come up with that name? Here is how I suspect the meeting went.

I think those are young shane macgowan's hands.

Having developed software both in-house and otherwise for Big 5 (heh - 4, now!) accounting firms and others for a few years, and having learned to loathe them in the process, it pleases me no end to see the piss taken out of them for their incompetence. I laughed, I cried, I wet my pants.

Wasn't it PWC that raised a stink a while back by asking people not to link to them without permission?

Fools.

We like donkeys. La la la. Everybody knows we like donkeys.

The second verse is where the real talent lies, you know.

Or was that the third.

"Dog in a coat" is of course set to the tune of the theme music from "Blankety Blank", which is equally inane...
"Blankety blank, blankety blank..."

Price Waterhouse Coopers Consulting are changing their name to "Monday"

They have created introducingmonday.com

Shame they forgot to register
introducingmonday.ws

"This is me...la-la-la...wasting $15...la-la-la..."
