Hahaha, absolutely spot on!
One of my current favorite slanderings of the American public is what the high-definition tv companies are doing.... you
have to pay $99.95 or whatever a month just to get the few channels you may want but can't buy any other way than to get the "total package." It's "total garbage" is what it is.
The TV market finishes only second to the cell phone market. What a bunch of slime. Did you notice how Cingular got kicked off the BBB just recently? Too many complaints again their company....And there all the same!!!
You'd love to think that they would just give you any phone for free when you're all forking out $50+ a month (my dad's cell phone bill for August was $350....!!!!!). But no, those rinky-dinky cheap P.O.S. cost $200. A total f*cking, this time brought to you buy Verizon.
...But I guess the average American consumer doesn't help matters...they're the ones who are too busy worrying about what ringtone or games they'll have on their new phone when I'm standing in line behind them, just trying to get a phone WON'T DROP CALLS! And the average American can't get enough TV, either, with their average 52 GALLONS of soda per year consumed while sitting on the couch watching their "reality tv" crap....we wonder why we're the most health-obsessed, over-perscribed and yet out-of-shape nation....well there's a good portion of the answer right there.
That part of our country digusts me. I could deal without the materialistic obesity we've sold ourselves into, that's for sure.
OK, end rant.
