Wow...if they were going to use the 2nd one, they could've at least bumped the text down from the border and centered it in the white space. It would've made it a little more acceptable.

You were right. Who picked that picture though. Looks like she's got her finger jammed up the poor kid's nose.

so you'd think you'd want a little creativity.

Venting your displeasure with the customer in a public forum!?! Geez Louise, change the subject header to "The vendor is not always right!"

Stand by whatever you wish, for as long as you feel necessary. But seriously, you don't see anything wrong with dissing your client in a public forum?

I think there is a difference here.
The customer is not always right, but they are the ones who pay the bills.
Case in point. We had a customer who literally was costing us money. Figured it out that it was $20k a month just because on their whining and needless BS. We fired the customer. It was a money loser and the long term possibilities were NOT worth the costs today.
You may not like the things your customers want to do, or the choices they make. But you have to decide whether those choices are really worth losing their business (and with their peers as well, word of mouth is a powerful tool that can make or break a business).
We actually gained a customer from this mess. When they heard that we fired one of our old references, they liked that we had the balls to walk away from a pain in the ass.
