Talk about a D'oh!

There’s a fine line between humor and condescension; more than a few customers felt that hosting provider Dreamhost crossed that line today.

The company overbilled nearly every customer, by a total $7.5 million dollars.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Yes, and they double charged all of their customers.  D'oh?

13 times by my count, but whatever.

And I don't care how much iago multiplies my hosting bill. It's still free. <3

Next story. Fox sues Dreamhost for use of Homer Simpson character (TM). Dreamhost raises hosting bill.

You might be right about that, Joe.
