Bob Garfield Posts Again: "Comcast Must Die/Part Six"
Bob Garfield, host of public radio’s On The Media and Ad Age columnist, is turning into the Braveheart of the Internet, routing Comcast on his blog. This morning he posted yet another installment in his fierce, take-no-prisoners "Comcast Must Die" series. His posts have quickly become blogging classics and his blog site a rallying point for fed-up cable customers who feel they have nowhere else to turn.

"My crusade to bring a gigantic corporation to its knees is moving along apace.
Judging by the comment traffic in the Bobosphere, the infuriating impenetrability of Qualmcast customer service has created a deep vein of resentment and hostility — which I intend to exploit to the fullest. I will not be satisfied until Qualmcast is on its knees, weeping. In fact, I won’t be satisfied until it is heaving with sobs, squealing and hyperventilating and snot dripping from its nose."
Bob Garfield commented:
Mary,
Thanks for following my jihad-in-progress. The web site should be up by Monday. comcastmustdie.com. The idea is for consumers to chronicle their nightmares. Adjacent to every post will be a white box -- to be filled in when Comcast responds. if they ignore the complaints, the site will be a sea of indicting white boxes. The idea is to force them into giving attention to everybody, not just VIPs.
Regards,
Bob
