Words fail me on this EXTREMELY crappy 45 billion dollar “deal” for any current consumer of pay TV out there who uses either service, so I’ll let assorted clips from The Empire Strikes Back do the talking (Thanks to ABiggerQuote for the clips!):
And so forth and so on. If you REALLY want to know how I feel, Robot Chicken spells it out even more (we’re screwed, folks):
(Thanks, adultswim!)
Yeah… sometimes all you can do is nothing but laugh at how we’re jerked around by these way too large corporations…

Heard this on the radio and let out a very loud FUUUUUUUCKKKK….

Yeah, I use TWC now and it’s a total rip-off. Comcast just blows for too many reasons, but I’m hoping this gets kicked to the curb during the hearings. It probably won’t (as I noted to Andra), so I don’t have my hopes up…

Oh, yes it is. I woke up to that on the radio and was too annoyed and tired to rant about it so those videos came in handy. Ugh. the ONLY “good” news is they now have to get grilled by politicians… which is also the BAD news because they’re probably all bought or sold already to allow this nonsense. Or just too old and stupid to know how cable works these days. I have no faith this will go anywhere but downhill (as you can see). The other good news is I got your letter – whee! Now, to see where I can put that book of yours (don’t own a reader device, but I’ll soon figure something out).
