Found this on Tyler Thompson’s website…..freaking hilarious! Nice way to tell IE users that they suck 
haha.
Hi, if you are coming to this site in Internet Explorer you might not be getting the best experience, honestly, I can’t even begin to think what your entire experience on the internet must be like…probably like riding a bike on the highway while cars blow by you on their way to Costco to get gallons of mayonnaise and 60 inch plasma TV’s, or something like that. So look, I am going to be honest, I kind of hate you, but we can make this work. Download Firefox, delete Internet explorer from your computer and get me a pulled pork sandwich.

Would you really want to delete firefox though? Most designers prefer to use it to make sure that, even though it isn’t preferred browser, their site will still show up at least somewhat decently. Although I agree IE is a p.o.s.

Brilliant! **Agreed
I love when people comment & don’t leave a real name or site. If your going to be honest – might as well be up front as to who you are too. Makes the statement more credible.

LaurenMarie - Creative Curio says:
But what about those poor souls who aren’t ALLOWED to install the wonderfulness that is FF? Like me
Corporate America dictates I must stuffer with IE6.
In response to a request to install FF (free, safer, faster, I could go on!): “Our company standard is Internet Explorer 6.” Yes, thank you. That’s why I asked to have FF installed.
You have no idea how painful it is! Take pity. /cry

Nathan Beck says:
Oh ol’ FF versus IE debate, (well there’s not much debate really, it’s obvious.)
But @LaurenMarie’s right, not everyone has the ability to install new software on their machines – many government companies, NHS etc to help reduce the risk of viruses etc.
So we can’t really just tell IE users to piss off, it’s not always their own fault, instead we have to, being the good web designers we are, cater for their needs. That means progressive enhancement kids!

I for one love IE6, the PNG transparency handling is beautifully achieve, and the IE6 box model is far superior to that of the W3C’s ridiculous attempt.
But really I love this, been wanting to do something similar on my own sites.

Pssh…Government mods never held me back!! Technically you aren’t allowed to install stuff without the Almighty Admin’s permission…but there are always ways around.
I won’t name any names but I know a guy who rocks Firefox on his Govt computer cuz he’s a total Bad Ass.
