Thanks for pointing that out (I didn't know that). That said I think it's a bit immature and out of place in a public blog post (which will no doubt be repeated elsewhere) for such a visible company that wishes to be taken seriously.

Not everyone subscribes to the theory that companies must have a grim and humorless face. I don't see why a lighthearted title is a bad thing. It's not like it's lowbrow or mean-spirited humor.

Upvoted because it's OK for you to not know every meme from the 1990s

Why? Because it's not just being lighthearted. It appears to be bad use of english.

Bad use of english is purposeful - it's a meme, one of the oldest and most widely recognized on the Internet. He's just showing some humour (not the first time).

http://xkcd.com/286/ seems relevant here ;).

So you are saying that the audience for the blog post consists of an overwhelming number of people that understand that meme? As opposed to people who do not? I disagree.
