Comcast Awarded the Golden Poo Award

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-will-receive-your-award-between-8-and-12 dept.

ISoldat53 writes "The Consumerist has awarded Comcast the Golden Poo award for the worst company in America. From the article: 'After four rounds of bloody battle against some of the most publicly reviled businesses in America, Comcast can now run up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and hold its hands high in victory — it has bested everyone else to earn the title of Worst Company In America for 2010.'"

      It's Xfinity brand assraping, but it's still Comcast's cock doing the work.

      Why's this on idle. It should be front page news. If it were about Microsoft or Apple it would be front page.

    You do realize that TV isn't a life essential service, right? Ditch cable and get yourself an antenna. OTA is free and high-def. Combine that with the internet (legal and not-so-legal sources) and you'll find that most of your entertainment needs are met.

    They only keep raising rates because people keep writing them checks. Cut the cord.

    Fat cats may not be a talking point, but it is a derisive term showing bias.

    You could just as easily have said:

    The bastards on Wall Street
    The assholes on Wall Street
    The insensitive clods on Wall Street
    The elitists on Wall Street
    The old white men on Wall Street
    The Nazis on Wall Street

    These are just a few examples of words that have automatic negative connotations, meaning that using any of them paints whoever you're talking about as the bad guy.

    Yeah, WTF? It seems like someone just doesn't like what you have to say.

    Hughes is limited by satellite bandwidth. It's a reality limitation and not something you can blame Hughes for, unless you expect them to pump away all the atmosphere so they can aim a laser at your house. Hughes is for places where there's no alternative, and if you didn't realise that, you weren't paying attention.

    By the way, you should fire your ESL teacher.
