On Cutesy Error Pages
Presenting the cutesy tr.im Fail Banana:
Coupled with the Twitter Fail Whale, these things make error pages cutesy. These little mascots remove the shame from their display, and personally, I am against it. Because you should feel bad when you see them, you should feel anger against the service provider who is letting you down. Where is the rage against a banana or a whale? It makes one sound petty.
Also, a little side note to the tr.im staff: You do not put a comma in a compound predicate with only two parts. Well, you do, but that’s because you’re wrong.
