NY Post's Online Registration Blows

2005_05_postreg.jpg

NY Post, if your goal in devising this insane online registration was to make us consider stealing our neighbors-who-are-never-there's copy of the Post, well, checkmate. Of course, today, they are here and we're still languishing for our confirmation email an hour after registering (we can only assume that all two copy editors, if that, are also handling the registration). If it weren't for the promise of a new ringtone or screensaver, Gothamist would be so over this.

Gawker is all too aware of the implications of this nasty new process.

I don't believe the NYP has copy editors. If they do, they are either retarded monkeys or right-wing conspirators intent on destroying minds through poor grammar/usage/spelling.

OK, I will admit they have the best headlines sometimes. You know you've lived in New York for awhile when, upon hearing a news story, you quietly anticipate the Post's puntastic headline.

Whenever you're confronted with an annoying "free registration" process just go to www.bugmenot.com.

Bug Me Not has userid's and passwords for lots of registration only websites like the NYTimes and the Post. If the site you want isn't on there, you can always make a fake registration and contribute it to Bug Me Not for others to use.

And no, I don't work for them.

Another thing to do is just don't use the site in question.

You could always use Bug Me Not & it's associated Firefox plugin.




Saves having to 'register' for any site.
