Article Mistake corrections

http://mybroadband.co.za/news/gadgets/161510-awe-inspiring-tech-specials-and-gadget-deals.html

Article clearly says:

First off, I survived last week’s bachelor party – so you can rest assured this is the genuine Staff Writer™ delivering your much-needed dose of low prices and hot jokes.

While some of the specials may qualify, I feel none of them qualify as "hot" and I was expecting hot jokes based on the promise of the article. I feel let down and upset beyond anything I've felt before. My weekend should have kicked off on a great note but this has just about destroyed it for me. Either this article needs to be updated to include the hot jokes we were all expecting and whose omission has possibly contributed towards global warming considering the amount of carbon dioxide released by my sigh, or the promise of such hot jokes should be removed to avoid destroying somebody else's life. I don't mean to over-react or anything, but this may be the most disappointing moment in MyBroadband's history. This is not Inception - the hot joke cannot be the lack of a hot joke. Please amend or I will need to report the post for misrepresentation and outright lies. Please also be sure that the added jokes are truly "hot". We deserve better than lukewarm considering this atrocious debacle.

Please also ensure the Staff Writer undergoes considerable training and a disciplinary process that, considering the severity of the infringement, should result in nothing less than a written warning. Thank you...
 
come on, there is no false promise here; there are plenty of jokes on the site

We have no excuses - the article did not live up to expectations, and the Staff Writer has been given a final warning. Any further unfunny Deals Articles from him will result in immediate dismissal.

Thank you, and I am glad that Mybroadband takes this issue seriously. What should have been a laughing matter, ended up not being a laughing matter, and that is no laughing matter at all. Your journalistic integrity drops sp many points with every false promise of a hot joke undelivered, let alone hot jokes which elevates one's joke expectations to Dane Cook levels. I think I speak for everyone when I say "don't toy with people's emotions please, especially when it comes to hot jokes". Have fun with cold jokes, or somewhat warm jokes, but you have no right to make light of hot joke situations. I think you can see how upset absolutely everyone on this forum is about this situation, and hopefully you have learnt your lesson without me having to take this to the press ombudsman. They don't take kindly to this sort of thing. In fact in my experience they have absolutely buggerall sense of humour.

Pick up your game and act like professionals. This is your final warning.

Thank you...
