AT&T Has A Message About Your iPhone Shipment

19924 views

Bill thinks that AT&T might have a message for him. "Here is a rather unfortunate captcha I received tonight when I logged in to AT&T Wireless to check on the shipping status of my new iPhone 3GS," he wrote. AT&T, do you serve captchas to your mother with that mouth?

Isn't AT&T sorta their own mother? I mean, they are Ma Bell.

@Nick1693:

They still have to answer to their Nana though...I hear Nana Bell is one tough bitch!

user-pic

Nice! I thought Captcha's pre-screened cuss words out? Maybe that's just certain brands of captcha...

user-pic

I feel... a little dirty.


(Oh, and what is a Q7 "fuck"? A new position? Is that what the kiddies are callin' it these days? I feel old)

user-pic

That's pretty much what I think whenever I see a captcha.

user-pic

So that thing's called a captcha, huh? Well, ya learn something new every day.

@verucalise: A "Q7-FUCK" is when a company has to go back, at least three-quarters into a new year, and revise the figures from the last full fiscal year (or further back). For a serious example of this, look at General Motors, who were cooking the books for years before they finally had to bite the bullet (stop selling things and using overseas profits to hide NA losses) and report that $39+ billion loss in 2007.

@lehrdude: She is! One time, someone ate one of her pies and she ate them! *coughAT&TWireless->Cingular->AT&Tcough*

user-pic

This truly would have been hilarious if it somehow ended up with "fuck3g".

user-pic

I have a hard time believing this... seems hard to believe that these catchpa systems aren't setup to block profanity and it'd be very easy to Photoshop a picture like this.

user-pic

Best Captcha EVER, just for your information.

@wchamilton: Seems to be a lot of photoshops lately. I can't tell if this one is, though.

user-pic

I once had one that read "fryj3ws" when I was joining a forum. Think I've got that screenshot somewhere in my external drive.

user-pic

They are saying how much they like dealing with customers. AT&T is usually pretty honest in their assholeishness. If that is even a word.

Via telepathy!!!

user-pic

it looks pretty lined up to be real. Just sayin'

user-pic

I've always wondered if in factories that package letter blocks or the plastic letters you put on your fridge, if it is someones job to make sure the letters displayed on the front of the package doesn't spell anything bad.

@nukee: Here it is. A bit off, no s at the end.

@lehrdude: That's SENATOR Bell to you... ;^)

user-pic

Whoops!

I think there's a bunch of monkeys at MS HQ with a script for Shakespeare they've worked out...

user-pic

I think one of the programmers had a bad day with his Audi Q7 SUV

user-pic

they figure you might as well start saying that word now cause once you get that phone you'll be using it a lot.

user-pic

It's been proven that these things don't work. Why do people still insist on adding them to their sites?

user-pic

@zigziggityzoo: yeah, an odd one should pass through every now and then, but i though getting f°ck, c°nt, or sh°t was impossible.

user-pic

@Samets: Or, perhaps, a reallyl good day. "Dear Penthouse...."

user-pic

@verucalise: It's sex in the backseat of an Audi.

user-pic

Well, I guess we know his status with AT&T. Come to think of it, isn't anyone with AT&T Q7fuck(ed)?

user-pic

@RamV10: If frustrating the person trying to buy something from you is the intention of captcha, then it works!

If trying to prevent spam bots and other undesirable folks out, then not so much...

user-pic

@bball123h: "...I always thought the forum letters were fake until last week..."

user-pic

@Dabby: because you don't have a keyboard ? .. or ...

user-pic

Ha!


Glad I wasn't consuming anything when I read that...I would definitely be choking right now.

user-pic

@thisheregirafFe: That's right. I'm putting words on my screen through sheer force of will here.

user-pic

When signing up for Facebook, one of the two words was bladders. I have it on my HDD somewhere, I'll have to dig it up.

user-pic

What a brilliant way to keep panty-waisted Holy Rollers from using the latest God Phone. Irony Man approves!

user-pic

OH @#$@@#$@$@*$ @@$(@($(@#)20. Nice

user-pic

@thisheregirafFe:
Some captchas are nearly impossible to read. Is that a one, a seven, an "I", an "i", or a "|"?

user-pic

@dallasmay: Wow. The funny thing is I actually vaguely remembered how to do it and it's been a decade since I took calc! I was too self-impressed. :D

And oh Brad. If only he was still owner.

user-pic

@savdavid: No, just iphone owners. I have never had any problems with them, but I don't own an iphone and i don't pay the absurd amount for unlimited data usage that they do.

user-pic

Doesn't captcha depend on the actual capitcha website or server feed? If it does I can't see how this can be AT&T's fault any more than a common computer anomoly.


user-pic

that's what i say every time i see *another* post about the iphone.

user-pic

@H3ion: Hybrid sex: now 40% more fuel efficient.

user-pic

damn and it didn't have an audio review.

user-pic

@dallasmay: So much for my Math degree. Good thing I went into computers way back when. If the problem isn't solve 2+2, I get out my calculator.
