Worst Metaphor of the Day

ZDNet
The world watched in awe and relief as 33 miners were rescued from their safe zone half a mile below the ground, brought one by one to the surface with help from the latest technology.

When will it be time to bring IT workers out of the depths of their data centers? There has been a cave-in of immense proportions, burying these professionals under a mountain of maintenance requirements, fickle business demands, and conflicting and confusing messages from analysts and vendors. They’re even trapped under a mountain of clouds, which carry a great weight for these workers.
Yeah, I get it that the author was trying to be edgy and current and all that. My opinion is that all they managed to do is look really heavy-handed and amazingly insensitive.
