HBO Ali G Expand-O-Banner Broken

alig_hbo_gawker.jpg

While trawling for his daily feed tube of crucial gossip, Bucky Turco spotted a banner for HBO which promotes comedian Ali G’s show. The banner, which only expands if you have Internet Explorer (what’s up with you designers” Have you heard half the world uses Firefox now?), allows you to begin a live chat. Unfortunately, there seems to be no responses from Ali G. Perhaps he’s too busy making foreign politicians look dumb but you’d think there’d at least be some sort of automated response. Bucky points out Ali G’s vocabulary is like no others and the designers, at least, could programmed in some automated verbal gems for our amusement. Let’s hope the banner’s just broken, will be fixed soon and the agency doesn’t get fired.

UPDATE: Apparently, it’s been fixed.

A man who answers a direct question about his feelings with a joke isn’t necessarily deflecting on purpose; humor is often the most practiced tool in an emotional vocabulary that was never given much else to work with.
