Talk about effective advertising, they've even made you spam completely unrelated forums with their adverts. Let me guess...you're one of those people who claim they're not influenced by big corporations?

Ummm no. I've read the comments and realise it is intentional.
Also realise nobody on here is going to go Iceland of the back of this. There's sweet corn on the pizza for Christ sake.
And you guess wrong. I'm not a pretentious twat.
Let me guess...you're one of those people that has not had a root for a very long time?

So why post it? Do you post other adverts you see?
This all harks back to Susan Boyle's album launch where the mistake was first made legitimately and it has become a meme latched onto by Ed Sheeran, and now it seems Iceland are piggy backing onto it as well, pretending it was an unintentional error so that people spread it "OMG Look at this!". That's why it's called "viral marketing".

This should be asked of 82% of Lounge posts. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

That could be because 'The Lounge' (C) TM is intended for that purpose?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Sorry, my IQ prevents me from enjoying most of what is put into the Lounge.

With your comment you left an opening so wide I'd feel ashamed if I took advantage of it

There are several ways to interpret that.

Probably true for any statement.
Have at it.

For the amusement value, because the Lounge was so much better in silence for 2 hours.
Thanks for indirectly answering my question though. It's been a long time for you.

How about because it is funny and this is The Lounge Area? Might want to read the guidelines for posts in this area.

I didn't find it funny at all, I find it just cynical advertising and spam, and frustrating that on some people it obviously works.

Seriously go get a hair-cut and some new aftershave, or failing that look on the internet for a lady supplying paid for services. You need it.

Ok here is the old thread to explain the situation I was in - Proprietary CMS[^]
As per your suggestions, I decided to move on and finally have an offer as Sr Software Engineer with 35% hike in pay. Now I broke the news to my Manager in current company recently and they are giving me a counter offer with Tech Manager role. I don't know about the package yet. They will let me know soon but I want to now be prepared with my decision.
I am about to finish MBA and Tech project manager is the sort of role I would like to move on to eventually. If I stay with this company, lot of the current major software work is outsourced. If I move on then I will be back to solid programming role and not sure how easy it will be to move on to managerial role after 1 year.
What do you guys suggest now. (Also note that I have been with the company for over 5 years now.)

What do you want to do in your life? I would stay in solid programming, if the conditions are similar. The choice is yours: if you get both a desired advancement in career and a pay raise then you should stay in your current place.
Of course if they offer you peanuts with respect to the other company...

Option 1) You get the money and hope you get the chance to change the role in the future
Option 2) You get the role and hope you get the chance to hike the money in the future

That can be a PITA, been there and went back to tech job
But... at the end of the day... is your decision, so pay attention to what your stomach/guts have to say (you are the one with the biggest information about your current employer, if you like to work there or not)
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Out of principle I don't take counter offers.
If they didn't realise your value until you gave your notice...
