From a little distance, that looks like a shark's mouth.

If that giant screen was really playing a Comcast signal, that picture would be pixelated as hell!

Wait, large black and white video screen. Overlooking employees/the public? Hrmmmmm, anyone know a blonde w/a sledgehammer?

I think that mural sums up the position that they want their customers to assume.

If this screen is also a metaphor, shouldn't it be the consumer's orifice that Comcast executives pass through frequently?

@Chantillian: It also works if you cross your eyes.

Those of us living in the Philadelphia area have had the luxury of knowing where our cable bills have been going for the last few years as their new building went up. But I had no idea it had come to this.

In Comcast's defense, those are only pictures of cabaret dancers. A truly wasteful company would have hired a full-time shift of them. With an abbreviated shift on the weekend.

I would gladly forgive all their sins if they give me a screen that size....to hell with movies, I want to use it as a computer monitor. Mmmmmmm....Crysis on a 30' screen....

FIOS please save me.

@CargoHoldNap_GitEmSteveDave: Because when I think of a consumer friendly company, I think Apple.

@warf0x0r: Good luck with that, they seem to be expanding at a snail's pace...at least near me. Then again, I live in the midwest, which doesn't seem to be a priority for them.

@rpm773: The real ones are in the exec offices. They put on a show every hour.

As customers, we just get to look at a massive flat panel TV with a video of them.

The fact that I work across the street from here makes it even funnier.

@rpm773: You didn't know about the screen? It was all over the local news months ago when they first started using it.

When I call them I like to ask "Am I wearing lipstick?"

@hunter3742: I live in Boston a MAJOR city in MA and they don't have it available...

Is that Martha Stewart on South Park this week?

That middle woman looks awfully hard core...

I wonder what process they have to go through when the picture goes out? Does it take a lot of rescheduled appointments and call backs until you get a good CSR who knows what they are talking about too?

.....they will never know what the masses go through in that building.

Who the hell needs doorways THAT size? Where are we, Comcast Headquarters or Hogwarts?

It's the Comcast Troll... He'll fix all our problems in a jiffy ;-)

@verucalise:

Take two!

@verucalise: I friggin give UP - click the link if you wanna see the pic.

@hunter3742: @GrandizerGo: They need to actually RUN the fiber cable to your house. So if you have underground lines like a major city, or are a little out in the boonies, then it might be awhile. Luckily, I was one of the first towns in NJ to get it.

@rpm773: It would probably be cheaper to hire them rather than run that HUGE video screen 24 hours a day, which is the true beauty of it. Even when it is "off" it is still producing an image of what that wall would look like IF THE SCREEN WASN'T THERE! It's still mesmerizing to watch in action though. The moonrise is awesome.

@Darrone: yeah, isn't apple actually more like the government in that clip? they're the ones that don't let you do crap with their hardware/software. you hardly even get a choice when you buy their stuff.

@verucalise: How about

I'm sure you could get a picture of something just as goofy if you waited a few seconds. It's a commercial...

It's the random legs at the bottom of the screen that bother me most. Who fell?

It's a video screen, and it's cool as hell:

wtf?!?

The video wall is becoming a part of Philadelphia. During some of the great events in the past year people gathered at the Comcast Center to be a part of it.

@menty666: I watched the video, and that's kind of cool, but I don't necessarily think it's the best use of customer money.

It reminds me of WGBH in Boston. I like PBS, and I considered giving some money to them. Then I drove into Boston and saw the gleaming black building by the turnpike with a massive multi-section video screen built into the side of the building and said, no, they apparently have money to spend on silly things.

An inside look at a Comcast executive meeting:

My inner feminist is not pleased.

@midwestkel: THANK YOU.... my computer no want to worky. Or might be the user... Anyone got some Dunkin Donuts??

@Chantillian: kinda makes it more poetic, don't you think?

We're a shark doubling as a cabaret

@stre: GAH! no more OS fights!

Meanwhile, the CEO is swimming in a giant room full of coins and humming

Life is a CAAABAAREEEEEETTTTTT!

@Chantillian: Well now that I see that, it makes it kind of terrifying.

Am I the only person who thinks everything looks normal aside from a slightly odd mural?

@AngusMnemosyne: I think it's more like a menu suggestion to customers.

@grebby: I get it now. Trying to watch a video screen with 3 giant holes cut out of it is simply unpleasant.

Oh no a company spending the money that their Board of Directors approved! OMG!

It makes sense. Comcast is a technology company thus they want to wow people with some technology at their corporate office. If their offices were a warehouse in the middle of nothing someone would complain that the reason they suck is because of that. I don't see the point.

@emona:
the legs at the center bother ME the most.
A little pornographic there.

@Sparerib: Couldn't they have saved the cash they spent on this and made the building actually look finished? For months after it was done I thought it was still under construction.

@grebby: whoa. that is. insanely awesome. but it being inside Comcast's headquarters sours it for me big time. can't. stop. watching....

@faust1200: Kids in the Hall FTW!

@GrandizerGo: I live in Dedham (suburb of Boston) and have had FIOS for over a year.

@Blinky987: Watch one of the videos linked in these comments. It's not a mural, it's an insane video screen.
