Do you run an English language paper in Mexico?

Because if you do, I hate you.

Yes, I hate you.

Trying to find any of the following information for nearly any publication in Mexico is complete waste of time:

advertising rates

contact information

your website

It is a nightmare of epic proportions. First of all, those of you who do have a website that can actually be found through something other than herculean psychic efforts, enough with the flash already. Flash is bullshit. No one likes flash but you because you think it looks pretty. It does not help with your page rankings. It does not help people find your site and it sure as shit doesn’t help anyone USE your website. So stop it.

If I have to fill out a web form to contact you, I will purposefully hurt you physically if and when we ever meet. I will stomp on your toes and kick you in the shins. Give me your email address so I can politely email you from mine. Do not give me ZERO contact information – no names, no phone numbers, no email and then expect me to fill out your stupid, often times broken web form. I hate you i hate you i hate you.

Do not make me email, webform or otherwise, for basic information that should posted on your stupid website. I should be able to find out basic circulation or page hits and your rates for advertising without having to email you and wait 37 years for you to put down your crack pipe and email me back. This is WEBSITE 101 PEOPLE.

If you want money for advertising, do not make me jump through your stupid archaic dog and pony show hoops just to get basic INFORMATION. I would rather throw money out into the street than give it to you.

If you are an ENGLISH language paper in Mexico, why in God’s name would you post your advertising rates and other information in Spanish? Would it, and I’m reaching here, stand to reason that ENGLISH speaking people might be looking to advertise in your ENGLISH paper? How do you even get dressed in the morning? I mean, really. You should be ashamed of yourself.
