breaking news: wordpress theme design starting at $100,000.00 - GoFuckYourself.com

fris · 02-11-2009, 11:07 AM

As if Mr Brown didn?t have enough to deal with at the moment it appears that the shiny new website he paid £100,000 for might have been based on a free Wordpress theme.

What?s more the designer of the theme is alleging that Number 10 (or the agency that built the site) has removed the footer attribution and is therefore in breach of copyright.

Not too shabby for modifying one line of code.

JamesK · 02-11-2009, 11:45 AM

He paid $100k for that?

moeloubani · 02-11-2009, 11:55 AM

MetaMan would say that Gordon Brown is a professional because he spends money to get something custom.

LOL

Where can I get a design job like that? Couldn't have taken more than a day. No way!

This is the crisis effect in the UK. In other times the price could have reach £500k

Knowing out government, they probably think they got a great deal

At least he got free publicity from it.
Who the fuck would pay $100k for that anyways? It looks pretty basic

I have a moon rock the Prime Minister might be interested in.

If all the money wasted by rich people, large corporations and government was pooled together and given out to poor people, there wouldn't be any poor people in the world. This is just sick - that kind of money buys a HOUSE in a lot of places.

At least with the Air Force's $25,000 wrenches the wrenches didn't have IP rights issues. LOLz
