Woh! What is this thing?!
This is a social bar from the Dilbert team and our friends at Meebo. It is a cool little feature we've added to Dilbert to make sharing comic strips, Mashups and other content, a simple click of the mouse from any page.
Try it out – use the buttons to instantly send the next funny comic you read to your Facebook status or your Twitter feed. We’re adding even more ways to share soon, so check this space often!
I did laugh when I read this, I must say... and who says these social sites aren't useful!
Just a comment on the "unacceptable" word.... I should think that it IS a crude pattern search. Probably a bot on the post server. And since I am sure not too much money was given out for it, by the server administrators, it is probably a crude word pattern search, based on american english, without contextural relevence.
So a british english word, that would be of no consequence in a similar british bot, is flagged. As an Englander, I would always use the word in question, and have never knowingly used the word "snicker" outide the context of a chocolate bar!
Such things happen all the time with so rich a language as english, in all its various forms. I find it amusing how words can take on interesting cultural twists ;-) So how many brits out there have asked an american for a rubber?
@dexter_greycells An explanation might be that the PHB would be suspicious of Wally (surely even the PHB cannot be sucked in forever), and Wally must know it. So he roped Dilbert in to act as a shill, and... it worked. :-)
