What's wrong with this picture?
Some of your points are well-taken, but here's a thought: before you complain at paying $80/month for two hours a week of television, perhaps you should give some consideration to the question of why the fuck you feel compelled to pay that much money for services you apparently don't even use. Last I looked, nobody required you to pay for every available premium channel when you only want to watch one or two.
....Go back and rewatch the trailer. Zaphod distinctly sports not only a third arm, but what appears to be a second head -- although the glimpse of the head is so brief that I almost thought I imagined it the first couple of times through.
I too live in the Bay Area, and had no problem whatsoever parsing the reference to "SF", as Science Fiction is appropriately abbreviated. Please, don't blame your location for your ignorance.
Gah, they need to hire the team responsible for Conker's Bad Fur Day away from Rare to work on this. If they couldn't create a Family Guy game worthy of the franchise, no one could.
More to the point, someone please tell the Australians that the rest of the English speaking world avoids question marks in lieu of apostrophes, as they are not typographically equivalent.
(Shut up you pedants: I know it's a charset issue, but where's the humor in that?)

Have you actually tried?
Because, funny thing: I just fired up my Steam-based copy of HL2 a few minutes ago and proceded to play an offline game with no difficulty whatsoever, despite still being unable to get a multiplayer game going. Now, maybe they've miraculously cleared up the problem in the last 20 minutes, but I can't help but wonder how may people crying foul here and on the message boards have personally experienced any problem whatsoever...
What makes you so certain he's being disingenuous? Instead of being so quick to point fingers, let's for once give this guy the benefit of the doubt and assume that he's merely stupid.
If you're the sort of person who tries to make jokes in XML, trust me, getting screwed shouldn't even make your list of immediate concerns: it ain't about to happen.;)
If English is your second language, I apologize for the slight.
If not, though -- given that you don't appear to be highly-enough functioning to even compose coherent sentences, why should you be trusted with a gun?
I fail to see how typos, misspelling, and other cruel abuses of the English language serve to protect your family.
But then, I fail to see how a fool with a loaded gun serves to protect your family, either.
Either way, you're more than likely just shooting yourself in the foot.
...Somebody may have flunked basic English grammar, but it wasn't "MS". "Malicious software" is not properly a compound word, nor does it belong to any other category of construct requiring hyphenation. Hyphenation in this case is not only unrequired, but would in fact be awkward -- and, arguably, ungrammatical.

Maybe it's time to renegotiate that contract...

Pardon my overzealous submission: that link should have been BBSpot.com.
(And while you're there, if you haven't already seen it, check out the classic "Microsoft Purchases Evil From Satan".)
"Interesting"? Silly mods, BBSpot is a well-known humor web site. This isn't a real article, it's a joke.
Dude, fuckin' read the thread before injecting a half-assed rant in midstream, okay?

Damnit. I always knew my sleepwalking would get me in trouble some day...
Kindly go fuck yourself.

heh. mod parent up funny.

Youngster.
That's what the teletype is for.
Actually, though stated humorously, this deserves at least a +1 Insightful.

...That information just wants to be free beer.
Ouch. Pretty harsh condemnation, from someone who invents polysyllabic words in an attempt to sound intelligent.
