a treatise on why comcast can suck a fat cock 

# posted by josh @ 9/11/2005 02:32:00 PM

this makes no sense. why, no sense at all. so it's a big red sox/yanks series this weekend, and inexplicably the sunday game is not televised nationally. hmmm biggest rivalry in sports plus one of the tightest races in baseball this year, nah, no need to show that.

ok, fine. so the game's not on. so i go to order it on one of the pay per view channels. to order, call 243-xxxx. ok. deal. wait, what? i can't order a single baseball game?! but i can order a day of college football. and i can order an individual porn. but no baseball? oh, well you can order the baseball package. ok, how much is that? 49.95, hell no. oh, sorry, you cant do that anyway. you had to order it by sept 4. huh?

so, in this age of digital television, tivo, hdtv, it's still somehow impossible, if you have comcast (which, it should be noted, is not really your choice since by area cable companies are basically monopolies) to order just one baseball game. just one assfucking, yeah, you can order that. but no baseball. NO BASEBALL. i think i'm the one getting assfucked, by comcast.

so, comcast, let me state something for the record: fuck you. if your customer service rep didnt sound hot, i would've gone off on you. instead i resigned myself to asking her annoyingly rhetorical questions such as "why cant you order just one game?" and "how come it doesnt work like pay per view?" and "college football but no baseball?"

i miss nesn. i would even take yes today.

I concur. I did not know about pay per view issues, and haven't had Comcast in years, but their advertising alone is thoroughly annoying (the one on EQX has some moron shouting YEAH! and SWWEEEET! after every point) and addresses consumers as idiots by only mentioning the price for the first 4 months and not even in the end-of-ad-legal-speed-speak saying the normal price you'll be locked into for the next 8 months.
