From the post:

>WordPress co-founder and CEO of Automattic Matt Mullenweg is trolling contributors and users of the WordPress open-source project by requiring them to check a box that says “Pineapple is delicious on pizza.” The change was spotted by WordPress contributors late Sunday, and is still up as of Monday morning. Trying to log in or create a new account without checking the box returns a “please try again” error.

I can't understand why it's used like it is. As a blog...sure. But the company I work for, and the one I worked for previous both used wordpress as their website. Neither really had any kind of dynamic content, and the one I'm with now is a "If you need us you know us" company that just basically has a website because that's what you do. It's completely static other than a jobs page, which gets updated about as often as Joe Biden has an original thought.

Yeah, it is shocking how many companies use something like WP for a website when they don't have anything that needs to be dynamic. It has a full database behind it, ton's of libraries, etc.. When it could just be a static page with some basic links and images.
