Thursday Thirteen #62-The Consumerist one
 |
I have been slacking with my Thursday Thirteen posts recently, partly because I have been swamped at work and partly because I do not want to give either of the Democratic candidates the patented Sparky Duck kiss of death. So, I have been reading Consumerist faithfully this week, getting my news and the like. Its actually been better than the news on TV, because it actually talks about stuff that is affecting us. So 13 stories from this week... 1.How some bars in the North are getting around a smoking ban 2.Comcast being Comcast and affecting your credit while they are at it. 3.Is your vet ripping you off? Yes usually 4.Banks sure should be not for profit, since they make no profit 5.Comcast is one of the worst in the country 6.Verizon will be with you sometime between Monday & Friday 7.I need damned Hybrid 8.Phew, the Duck family is not the only ones who love Credit Cards 9.Somebody that sells Nano missed this whole recession thing 10.Lets all vote for Comcast 11.You may wanna think about dumping your Wachovia stock 12.Countrywide is having a fire sale 13.Phishing calls can be funny, when the phishee fights back |

Gotta love Comcrap!
Comcast...I rank my love for them right up there with Clear Channel. Cheers!!
They gave us a Prius for our last trip to the land of granola and I'll tell you 2+ weeks and never had to fill up! If it wasn't so unattractive and the view out the front window was easier for me I'd get one in a second.
I don't have to deal with Comcast, thank you, at the same time, have nothing nice to say about our provider either. They may be small but they suck.
egh Comcrap.... blah! Unfortunatly we have it!
Have a great Thursday! Come on over and laugh at my thirteen, but not too hard!
This is not a campaign ad for Comcast. I have never dealt with them but now have a HP case manager.
We SO wanted a hybrid, but can't get a US spec one here, can't get a German spec one for under $40K. So we settled for a Mercedes. Ah, well.
Not a fan of Comcast...but HATE Countrywide and Bank of America even more...just not sure which of those two leads the pack..well today, it is BofA and their lying cheating ways...
I've got Comcast. And I've always wanted a Hybrid but I don't understand how it all works. What burns to produce the electricity they run on?
Wow. Comcast is sure under fire, huh?
My husband used to work for them. Thankfully he no longer does!
Interesting TT. :)
I think I love the article about declaring all bar patrons performers the best. Wonderful T13, Sparky - I'd never heard of that site before.
Great idea for a TT list! Yes, Comcast is evil. Plain and simple.
I'm so glad I don't have Comcast... that's all I gotta say.
And yes, I hope Nerdvana gets me sued. I need the publicity!
I've never had any dealings at all with Comcast. Probably a good thing.
No Comcast here either, thank goodness.
Happy TT!
You find the cleverest things.
Interesting stories. Thanks for sharing!
