I think it's hilarious. One of the questions asks you to "Please consider each of the following words and select the ones you feel best represent Yahoo! Answers" Here they are:
Arrogant
Charming
Upper Class
Trustworthy
Different
Reliable
Friendly
Unique
Kind
Fun
Prestigious
Dynamic
Restrained
Best Brand
Leader
Independent
Rugged
Daring
Innovative
Straightforward
Trendy
High Quality
Original
Cares Customers
Stylish
Carefree
Simple
Obliging
Authentic
Socially Responsible
Glamorous
Unapproachable
Traditional
Worth More
High Performance
Energetic
Sensuous
Distinctive
Helpful
Progressive
Down to Earth
Up to date
Gaining in popularity
Good Value
A lot of them don't even make sense, like "Cares Customers" and "Sensuous." And only two, or about 4.5%, could be considered negative. What does that say about yahoo answers?
Who has seen the Y!A survey? What did you think of this?
They need a lot more negative words if they want to be honest. Words like "arbitrary" and "capricious" or "unfair" and "unjust."
But, typically, they don't want the truth, they just want to look good.
Reply:Is that for real? That's hilarious! Did the work experience student compile that survey? Lol... How bizarre, sensuous? WTF? Obliging....?!
It's like a non-native English speaker has got hold of a thesaurus!
Reply:This is the first time I've seen this and my response is: you have got to be joking?
Wonder what moron dreamed up this nonsense.
Reply:I think it's proof they've outsourced everything to the subcontinent ... that would explain the crazy violations, if English is Yahoo's second language.
MY list would be something like:
annoying
moronic
totally random
pixilated
perverted
futile
