I am tempted to make an allusion that involves us, the making of foie gras and Reddit's ad-tech supremacy. With Steve being the guy who nails the ducks to the wood, forces the funnel down their throat and. . . well ya, you get the point.

A landing page duck could turn pun to punchline.

The metaphor has an explicit duck.

It's not duck who's made the booboo but Jacques. It's trivially easy to find even without the link because he posted the exact title. Google the title, lots of direct links.

Probably easy to find the actual post on some archive too.

Thanks for the cleaner links, @tpmx & @pitdicker

I'm surprised there hasn't been a rush to claim the rights to naming this basic taste something more "palatable" <ducks>

It was in fact done by a duck.

I for one, welcome our new quack overlords.

I don't think it is common sense to correlate a duck and duckduckgo in real life...

Duck... is just delicious.

The duck is a (mistaken) interpretation of an early French automaton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digesting_Duck

Isn’t that called a duck?

I think duck is insinuating that it's a reference to Jeff Atwood, Joel's cofounder for Stack Exchange.

Gavage, the process of force-feeding ducks and geese for fois gras, is not painful for the animals. I have been to a duck farm and personally seen ducks being raised for fois gras rush over and almost fight each other to get the tube.

My coworkers are wondering why you're encouraging potential users to shoot your mascot/namesake, but my coworkers are nitpickers. That was fun!

If you do: $('div.ducks').mousedown(); in the developer console it's pretty hilarious.

Let's start saying "duck off" to the ill-informed

duck.com will surely inspire the sick dolan[0] crowd
