Back off Patty from Peanuts, I get to do the name-calling now. H&R, you blockheads!
H&R Block has a new advertising campaign focused around a grossly grammatically-incorrect phrase: "You got people," or in some instances "I got people." You may have seen the billboards, heard the radio ads, or been subjected to it on their website. It's "You have people"! Or in this case, you lack people...with good advertising sense.
It's hypocritical for a tax-assistance company, which engages in the most meticulous of professions, accounting (forgiving the ledger-creativity that some rather large companies have been prosecuted for over the last few years), to go about openly butchering the English language willy-nilly. It's not hip. It's not cool. It's plain fucking stupid, insulting, and abominable. What advertising firm suggested this? What executive green-lighted it?
I thought my hatred for tax-prep companies would forever be reserved to Intuit and their extortion.
