AOL Dumping Some Broadband

unsupported writes "Just days after news that AOL will be breaking up into 4 business units, AOL is telling existing broadband customers in 9 Southern states to find a new carrier. This news comes after AOL stopped selling broadband services earlier this year. AOL plans a similar phase out of existing broadband customers for the rest of the country over the next year."

    Really, who cares! Those redneck yokels lack the intelligence to even type, let alone make use of a broadband Internet connection! Like the savages they are, they'll start lynching African Americans and homosexuals with their now-useless network cables. Those fundamentalist Christian extremists are a disgrace to America!

    It's amazing that people would put up with AOL, but time and time again people have shown that no matter how badly they're treated, they'll hang on to bad relationships (including bad business relationships) without thinking of how bad it could really get.

    Substitute "George W. Bush" for AOL in your sentence and it's still amazingly true.
