Error'd: Poetry in Motion

So much cringe here today. Obviously, the first submission belowjust reeks of professional sycophantry on so many levels. I can'tdecide which is more offensive, the barefoot butcher or the grotesqueattempt to humanize a vogon. To take the edge off, I'll start youout with a very old shaggy dog punchline. The actual setup for thisgroaner is pretty horrible, though someone on the internet has dutifullycompiled the definitive collection of all known variants. Sparingyou that misery, I'll cut straight to the chase: Rudolf the Redknows rain, dear. Now you can decide which gag is more worthy: that, or this.

My English vocabulary cannot convey the complexity of my feelings aboutBeatrix W. who shared a monstrosity, reporting innocently"I was just looking for a book about AppleScript by a Japanese author." Is there aJapanese word for "thank you for this gift but never do it again?"

Or maybe there's a German word for it. What say you, Friend Foo? This week Foo A. has a fun one for us."Halt entfallt means stop omitted, so they're suggesting Ishould change to a train that doesn't even stop there!" Clearly, they'reexpecting you to jump nimbly aboard as it rolls through. I hope it at leastslows down.

Newlyread Rudi sent in a screenshot titled <insert subject/title here>saying "I guess the game is to figure out what the location is?(The reason I used HTML entities in the title is because in aprevious attempt to submit this WTF I used the actualcharacters, but resulted in a 500 error, so now I'm checkingif that might have been the reason why. Which I guess wouldbe a meta-WTF. :) )" So it might, and it wouldn't be our first.As the other joke goes,"what happens if you try it again?"

Easy-listening Dan snapped a shot of his infotainment system, remarking"I think it's a Reverse HTML Injection. At first, I thought they'd fix itquickly, but it's been like this for weeks." I've seen submissionslike this before, but I'm not sure if I've run one.

With the last word for this week, Micha Thomas has us going and coming."Coming from the same company that gave us the infamousClick 'Start' to shutdown Windows, this is whatmy Outlook greeted me with this morning"
