    „We have a technical issue, we ran out of blue paint so we need to retire the car.“

    „But your car is red?“

    „yes, so we cannot run the car without the blue paint.“

        There’s a meme somewhere that has a guy trying to print a black and white doc, and the printer says “No. Fuck you. Low on cyan.”

        Oh, and don’t forget the ink cartridge DRM that HP implements. Fuck 'em.

          As far as terrible sponsors go HP’s anti-consumer bullshit seems almost tolerable when compared to Big Oil, cancer sticks and the rest. Isn’t the advertising industry simply lovely.

        Should have gone with the ink-subscription Fred. After all, it’s only 50 bucks per month…

      I would guess because this stands out more.

      HP is not paying a huge amount of money just to go unnoticed.

    I thought the Ferrari name would be sacred enough to not add a sponsor to, but I guess they had to swallow their pride on this one! Shame it’s such a shitty company with a shitty logo!

      I mean, they were “Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow” a few seasons ago when PMI had the title sponsorship. At least this time around it sounds better than that.

        But that was so they could skirt the rules and still smoke. Ferrari’s engine just can’t be bothered to show up for the race if they can’t smoke while going around the track.

    I don’t see what’s the big deal is. Everyone still going to call them just “Ferrari”.

    Why use the blue logo?

    They need to add at least two more names to it or they’re not taking it seriously
