“alternatives”-ad fury

the near-maniacal rage you feel when an online vendor/advertiser off-handedly remarks that a desired product/content is no longer offered/available, and then adds insult to injury by cheerfully cajoling, “but no worries — check out some of our other awesome products/services, like these!”, causing you to just wanna smash yer fist right through the screen in resentful frustration, since whatever “subst-tute” profferings they are showing you have virtually no resemblance whatever to what you were looking for and would certainly not be anywhere near as satisfying; it’s almost like they’re presuming to imply that they know more about what you want than you do yourself!
counsellor, sympathetically consoling a late-teens client who is practically climbing the walls in tearful frustration from having been cheekily offered “super mario” by an online-gaming website when he’d wanted to play a round of “spy hunter cl-ssic” after a long day at high school, just as he’d been doing every evening for the past two years: ah-haa — sounds to me like a cl-ssic case of “alternatives”-ad fury — i so totally “get ya”, young man, and i don’t blame ya one bit for feeling this way… a lot of companies sure don’t consider what their customers truly want whenever they”update” their offerings, do they? reminds me of a couple of local radio stations back when i was around your age — all of a sudden they stopped playing their traditional soothing ’60’s ‘n’ ’70’s easy-listening music in favor of pop-bop and country-cr-p — a lot of adult-listeners were really b-mmed out about that! why, i myself still sorely miss that wonderful music almost thirty years later!
