Well no kidding, tax payers are looking at it and going WTF? The traffic they are getting is from the social media exposure and criticism. It would actually be interesting to see the actual stats on this project, wouldn’t surprise me if it was 20,000+ hits (and you know what I think of them).

And while I did say a newspaper I stayed away from directly naming the company. As for the choice of numbers, inflated or actual, I was just pointing out that hits are essentially worthless.
