Plus, they'll get their own broadcast channel (ABC). Wonder how that'll work out.

That's exactly what Comcast did for AT&T Broadband. Bought their debt and change in exchange for the rights to the company and the name.

I hate Comcast. The worst part about them is their lies about satellite TV. "The wind blows, the signal goes out. My dog sneezes, the signal goes out. I have to adjust the dish twice a week." That's not true you lying, son-of-a-bitch. The execs deserve to be anally raped by a bull elephant.

It's called exaggeration, dumbass. But they're not that far from the truth. My gf used to have satelite, and a heavy rain storm was enough to knock out signal.

Hmmm..Eisner would not even talk to them.

For someone that might be looking for a new job soon, he shouldn't be such an ass.

I just really hate comcast. My cable is so freaking sh!tty. My parents' satellite goes out maybe once a year and we live in Michigan (known for bad weather).

it's just amusing to see you get so excited about lies in a TV Ad. It must really be interesting watching you watch TV with all those LIES. OMFG. how do you stand it.
