Blind you with bollocks
November 12, 2010
At work the other day, I was trying to find out the phone number for a local company. I looked up their website and found the most wonderful piece of corporate bullshit I've seen for a long time.
Our Secret
It all lies in our attitude to our key policy of 'Seven S's' which we believe is the seven wonders of XXX Ltd – Strategy, Structure, and System. Staff, Style, Skills and finally Superordinate goals.

I didn't even know what Superordinate goals were. I had to look it up. I am not feeling particularly enlightened even now. Maybe when I ring up I should ask them how they are putting their superordinate goal policies into practice ;-)
Years ago when I worked at the OU, I found a website called the Bullshit Detector. You fed in bits of crappy corporate-marketing-speak like the above, and it gave you a Bullshit Percentage. I can't seem to find it online any more which is a shame, but it was brilliant!

Do you mean The Wankometer?

That's also the place to find the University of Bums on Seats which is so similar to my last academic institution it is barely satire.

YES I did mean the Wankometer! Well remembered. I'm sure I told you about this years ago, lucky I keep you around to remind me of all the things I've forgotten ;)
