COMCAST Sucks! (I am growing tired of this title too)

Lunatic red-assed drug crazed monkeys run this company, right? The local NBC-TV affiliate that won't be linked because of NBC's pro-Obama stance, featured a story at noon today that covered a couple in their 70s attacking a COMCAST office smashing phones, TVs, etc., with a hammer. This retribution was due to the lack of response for service. It was the wife wielding the cable calibration hammer. Hmmm, this does not surprise me. Apparently they had been delayed several times for service and the frustration was too much to bear. Please let it be known that the local office does not schedule service. COMCAST, in their usual wisdom, has customer service done out of state. Thanks Ashby for the phone play by play. He reported it between bursts of laughter to me as I drove down the Natchez Trace. Both hands were on the wheel, traffic was being watched and the phone conversation was done with a Bluetooth. There was a moment where the truck was parked in a turn out while my fit of hysteria calmed down. Hammer lady, I don't know you, but God Bless You.

These cable monkeys just aren't satisfied unless they are making life miserable for their customers. Read these articles at DailyTech and BroadbandDSLReports.com. Don't you think it is time for class action suits all over the nation? The FCC recently slapped them on the hand without fines for monkey business. Besides, this group of apes destroyed TechTV thinking it would encourage people to watch their kid tech channel, G4, which really sucks. IMHO TechTV was the greatest TV channel of all times. Yes, there is geek prejudice here. Thanks Mudslingr for two great links. I am so glad that I don't work for COMCAST anymore. When there, all the local people were nice, efficient and great great people. It was corporate that had the monkey board rooms. I am so glad that I don't live in their service area too.

The above graphic was stolen from gizmodo.com and I hope they forgive me for spreading the word with their inventive take on the COMCAST scenario. A personal note; please Pink Floyd forgive us all. We are trying to make part of the communications media respond to the customer base.
