The Website is Down: Sales Guy vs. Web Dude, created by Josh Weinberg, is a hilarious look at the life of a tech support person versus the evil Sales Guy, presented in the same vain as You Suck at Photoshop, except voiced by chipmunks.

Laughing Squid Hosting would like stress this video is not an endorsement of of lackadaisical behavior in tech support and would never engage in this kind of tomfoolery when your website is down.

Well Scott and Rick, I think you have found a home at FriendFeed, if this plugin vs. comments on the site are any indication.. Welcome!

Advice: investigate working a custom CSS style on Disqus or IntenseDebate. Although these system move your comments off the site, since there is no ‘prep’ involved with writing a comment, and the commenter can keep track of where and when they commented, it is almost as easy to use as FriendFeed.

Site seems to be down. Found the raw film at http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=36756169

but, it’s not as cool as the original with the computer and desk as a frame.
