Today I got a survey invite from VisualCV ... I couldn't resist. Everything was going pretty well until question 14.
The question was "Where do you live?" and the options were: any of the 50 United States, Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, or South America ... but wait a minute! What happens if I live in Mexico, or Canada, the Caribbean, or one of the Central American countries ... Holy Kaw! They all got shafted and somehow Antarctica made the list ... really?
VisualCV and Zoomerang, for getting basic geography wrong in the age of Google Maps, and for snubbing the wonderful people who brought us such marvelous things as Canadian bacon, maple syrup, tacos, burritos, and all-inclusive island vacations ... an extra stern wag of my finger for you!

Blaming Zoomerang for that is like blaming Blogger for your post! They just provide a tool that gets used and abused like any other.
To few survey authors have anyone else double check their work; that's probably what happened here.
You will be judged by the company you keep.

Dude, that was mean. The guy's point is valid.
If I take your quote to heart, the fact that you work for a company you do not believe in...

dude! it was a general comment acknowledging that guilt by association happens, not a personal attack on Jeffrey.
...and even if it had been, that's - at worst - a 2.6 on the 10-point mean scale. :)
the lady doth protest too much, methinks.
