Worcester Mass. City Council Votes To Keep Comcast From Entering the Area

Posted by samzenpus on from the and-stay-out dept.

First time accepted submitter _AustinPowell writes Comcast wants a cable television license in Worcester, Massachusetts. In response, the City Council voted 8-3 to urge Worcester's city manager to let the company's license request die. The deadline for the decision is Wednesday, but the manager is not bound by the vote of the Council. "It's a terrible company," City Councilor Gary Rosen said. "In my opinion, they should not be welcome in this city. Comcast is a wolf in wolf's clothing; it's that bad."

    Instead of posting a long-winded screed about how I loathe Comcast, I'll just say this: If I had two bullets and found myself in a room with Comcast, Hitler, and Osama bin Laden - I would shoot Comcast. Twice.

      Hitler didn't die, he became a Super Aryan and flew away to fight stronger opponents.

      "...Comcast is a bad guy the US army won't do anything about."

      That's because if the US Army attacked Comcast, they could have it fired.

    They should use that as a tagline in their advertising: Comcast...we're not as bad as Stalin!
