We’ve seen error pages left and right on as we continue in our quest for the worst-of-the-worst.
It’s really unpleasant.
Initially, we were worried that it was a conspiracy against us (damn kids!) but we’re not nearly popular enough. We now know the truth: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Yes, David Karp must have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. You can catch that, right?
Now look, all joking aside about the great tumblr founder, our frustration really has to do with the tumblr error pages themselves.
Twitter gets a whimsical image, while we’re left with this reasonably designed error page. Tumblr is fairly meme obsessed, so why shouldn’t its error pages be filled the same things that our dashboards are normally filled to the brim with? That way we won’t be so depressed when tumblr is feeling like a three-year-old with the swine AIDS.
We’ve mocked up (see above photoset) an error page that we think better fits the tumblr communities sensibilities (where and when did this photoset shit happen? were we drunk?)
Pros: When tumblr is down we get to be semi-productive members of society.
