Was going to blog about that, but didn't get around to it, and figure it's kinda late now. Well, in this case, “sold by dumb capitalist fucks.” :)

We'll starve em out of their slimy rat holes and burn em when they show their ugly heads! ...I had a similar experience with Verizon's DSL. Spent an hour on the phone trying to cancel, got transferred multiple times, put on hold and dropped a couple times too. But how quickly they could sign me up! Its a fucking conspiracy. Do we get to wear cool buttons that read "american greetings, consumer beatings" or "greetings breeding bleedings" or "birthday card sucks, sold by dumb commie fucks"? I want 5 of each. shut them bitches down! I’ll join the war! (well, actually I usually make my own cards, or buy ones from obscure publishers anyway, but still…..)
