"free2rhyme"

In a recent attempt to register a new Yahoo email account, I was enraged and saddened in equal measure to see that their example of a 'typical' email address is free2rhyme@yahoo.co.uk

https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.intl=uk&.src=ym&.done=http://uk.mail.yahoo.com&rl=1


It is simply nauseating to think that these Yahoo 'creatives' assume that anyone registering for one of their tawdry accounts is a by default ome kind of teenage know-nothing Eminem wannabee ( iam assuming that "rhyme" in this case does not refer to the nursery variety, but to the debased US argot known as 'rapping').

And what does "free 2 rhyme" mean anyway? Is it a declaration of defiance, that is to say that they will not permit anyone to get in their way of their human right to "rhyme"...

Ye Gods! can this really be the same nation that once gave Shakespearean prose and poetry to the world?
