Industry Insider Blasts Comcast
gordette writes "I'm posting this because Comcast did the same thing to me that this journalist describes — held my HD channels hostage by insisting that I shell out for an expensive cable package. The journalist is blasting Comcast for their 'shakedown' of consumers, and is doing so in full view of industry insiders. She also links to an earlier blog post describing Comcast's Motorola DVR problems."
No, I mean, to criticize comcast in a public forum.. there must be a law against making libelous comments directed at corporate america.
Got used to not having all the premium channels, and I got along just fine.
Well you're a far better man than I am. I once had to live with just basic cable. I thought I could do it. I thought I was tough. I told myself they have nothing but basic cable in Africa, and since I'm a rich Westerner I should be thankful for what I do have.
I was wrong. SOO SO wrong.
The trouble started right away. Shaking, sweating, constant stomach pain. Soon I was having splitting headaches and constantly masturbating. Then, I went nuts and nearly beat a man to death with my bare hands for asking me if I'd seen Sopranos that week. Of course not, I had only basic cable. It took three years in prison for an assault charge for me to realize that I'm just not that strong of a person, and that I had NO BUSINESS not subscribing to the premium channels.
My hat is off to you sir, I wish I were half the man you are.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
