wtf is with comcast?

This rant has nothing to do with cable prices, waiting all day for a technician to show up or a dvr not recording my favorite show (the things most comcast customers would likely have an issue with). It has to do with running a pointless test of the emergency alert system during primetime on a cable channel. Seriously – WTF?! There I am, happy as can be watching Burn Notice on USA on Thursday night. It’s the last 2-3 minutes of the episode and Michael and Fiona are just starting a serious discussion about their relationship. What happens next… I’ve got no f—ing idea because my TV suddenly is showing me nothing but snow with some 1970s style text scrolling over it telling me that this fancy special defect is part of a weekly test of the emergency broadcast system. Comcast – test all you want during a commercial break or at 3a.m. – but test over prime time again and I’ll finally get off my rear and switch to DirecTV or Dish (which I want to do anyway but inertia and/or laziness have prevented).

wtf is with… monster cable?

$89 for a 4′ HDMI cable that is worth $2? I bought two 10′ HDMI cables with the same specs for less than $10 including shipping. They’ve worked flawlessly. But hey, I have to give their marketing department credit for actually convincing people that they need to spend the extra $87 for the Monster Brand. I’m just surprised that there are enough people willing to drop a Benjamin for a single cable in the world to keep them going.  I would think that people who are that into a/v equipment would take two seconds to do a little research online and learn the truth.

wtf is with people leaving puppies on the side of the road?

abandoned puppies need a good home
abandoned puppies need a good home. do you have a good home?

WTF is with people abandoning baby anythings on the side of the road/in a dumpster/wherever? People, people – take responsibility. Listen to Bob Barker and get your pets spayed or neutered (this applies to your daughter too if her name is Nadya Suleman). If you let your dog have puppies, take care of them yourself or find them a good home. Think long and hard about wtf is wrong with you if you even consider leaving baby animals on the side of the road?

Anyway – these little guys need a home or some foster parents. Contact us if you can help.
