9,000 words about a tweet and you don't tell us what the tweet said?

When I moved three blocks, Comcast made me change my phone number through them (because it was a different zip code) and when they were to come out to do an install (scheduled at the same time they made us change our phone number), they didn't show up because they couldn't get a hold of us -- because they kept trying to call us at the old phone number -- so each group wasn't able to communicate at all with the other.

So it's pretty easy to imagine that one side of corporate couldn't do the same thing.

It pains me to defend Comcast at all, but in this case, it really seems like they're in the process of fixing it. That said, Reel Grrls should make the mistake as public as possible. In other words, it seems like, as broken as the system is, it's working here.

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Meredith Attwell Baker did not become head of Comcast

"we sincerely apologize for the unauthorized action of our employee" - read

IT'S TOTALLY OUR POLICY TO TREAT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING LIKE WE'RE BETTER. WE FORGET SOMETIMES THAT OUR 'CLIENTS' OR AS WE LIKE TO CALL THEM, SHEEP, HAVE MINDS OF THEIR OWN AND SOMETIMES ACT AS IF THEY HAVE FREE WILL. WE HAVE WORKED QUICKLY TO MITIGATE THIS SITUATION, AND ASSURE OUR SHAREHOLDERS WE HAVE GIANT FUCKING BALLS AND WE WILL TEABAG EVERYTHING FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. Love comcast.

Monopoly was the name of the game. What are we going to do if we don't like comcast? Tweet about it? PLEASE. They monitor all tweets, next they'll start fucking people over for pre-tweets. I SAW YOU HALF WRITE THAT TWEET AND HIT X YOU'RE GOING DOWN BUDDY.

4 is correct. She did not become head of Comcast, she became a lobbyist for them. I think this is equally as unethical but it should be noted.

@5 can you really monitor a pretweet? You should see some of the pre-comments I write on Slog before I hit cancel!

Please wait...
