Here’s a powerful way you can harness the infinite whining potential of the internet and turn it into something useful. When you’re faced with a major purchase, questionable job offer, or any other interaction with some google-able entity, just go to your friendly neighbourhood search engine and enter the name of the company you want to check up on, followed by ” sucks.”

Booking a flight? Test each of your options for carriers in turn, and pick the one with the least vitriolic pages that come up. Be sure to read the comments on blog posts as well, there might be some sort of refutation.

Whether you’re buying a laptop, applying for a job, trying to find somewhere to vacation, or just want to hear something negative, “Company name sucks” is like having a friend that you keep at arms-length, because every time you talk to him he’s complaining at length about how bad Royale paper towels are compared to Bounty — except you never have to talk to him to gain his surly wisdom.
