She doesn't really like being called fat.
I was browsing the site and the search box on the bottom left (which doesn't look like a search box by the way) said "your mom is too fat to fit in this textbox".
It's childish and offensive. Not casual. Not creative. Not funny. Obviously this is an MJ feature.
I'm curious about what other people think.

To be honest VCs and Marketing folks are probably not interested in "just ideas" anyways. They are interested in things that can be implemented, and the best way to show this to get things working.

Yes, I am in fact saying that. The best way to get funding from banks and VCs is to show that you will invest your own money in your idea. Then they want to know if you have covered the three F's: Friends, Family and Fools.
If you won't invest in your own idea and can't garner the support of those in your inner circle, then why should the bank and VCs?

If you are worried about offending high level VCs, etc, I guess we should really ask one of them to see if they are offended.

Anyway... I don't expect the textbox will change. I know that I'm right when I say it doesn't appeal to everyone, but a stuffy professional site doesn't appeal to everyone either.
Thinking more about the whole issue of offending or pleasing members of a community makes me wonder if a single homogenous social network or community is possible. I think Cambrian House has adopted an appealing feel to a certain type of person at the risk of not being *right* for everyone.

You can't end a game in a tie. Is that Canadian rules football or something?
