Play Consumerist Comments Bingo

All your favorites are there, like "slw nws dy?," pointing out typos, blame the OP, and more! Reader catastrophe girl has uploaded a series of four delightful Bingo cards to our Flickr Pool so you can play the home version of the game we play in our minds.

Girl, you are awesome. If they are still giving them out, she should get a gold star.
What about "Whining about having been disemvoweled?"
This is why I dont use debit cards.
@Laura Northrup: If we all had voted Ron Paul, we wouldnt need consumerist. The companies would be handing out rainbows and angel wings for free.
It's Catastrophe girl's fault. She should not have been spending this much time on consumerist anyways.
One room for improvement: "OP's Fault" should be the centre "Free Bingo Spot".
Also missing is the "I dont think I want Government fiddling with my *|MORALLY_DUBIOUS_BORDERLINE_ILLEGAL_BUSINESS_PRACTICE|*"
@catastrophegirl - sometimes makes typos and doesn't care: If it wasnt for stupid government regulations, you could have had 2 stars.
Might I suggest a travel version like the vintage ones with the little clear "doors" that slid over the selected box? I would like ones designed for specific situations that you can pull out when needed: themed boards could include things such as bad retail sales, poor restaurant, and bank teller experiences, etc. When the offending experience rises to the level of "BINGO", the consumer could then lose it without guilt.
And SHENANIGANS!!! How can we forget the Shenanigans!!!
This is all Obama's fault. I should have voted for Ron Paul.
@catastrophegirl - sometimes makes typos and doesn't care: Oh please, everyone knows its Hillary Clinton's fault.
love it love it love it!!
If somebody posts a comment that doesn't have vowels to begin with, do they get punished by re-emvowling?
The BINGO cards are fantastic, BTW :)
@catastrophegirl - sometimes makes typos and doesn't care:
You are good. I'd love one that had just predictable statements from specific commenters (for example, mine would be calling a corporate shill a "disingenuous FRAUD").
I see it on some of the cards, or are you up to some shenanigans & I missed your point?
I love the fact that by making these you've already got yourself the center square.
@☠Grяrяrяrяrя sings the doom song now!:
Is this one of those philosophical trick questions like "if a tree falls..."?
I'm surprised you didn't make a chargeback spot, Ben. That one gets dropped at the narrowest of perceived slights.
Unfortunately, there is a misspelling. It's supposed to be "MOAR KITTEHS!" in proper LOLcat style, according to I Can Has Cheezburger?
two new cards uploaded with additions:
"DON'T FEED THE TROLL"
Chargeback
"Government is evil!"
"Do you work for _company referenced in article_?"
and a changed spelling of "MOAR KITTEHS!"
the first four cards all have the same things in different layouts. the next two cards - i had to drop some things to fit the new additions in.
@catastrophegirl - sometimes makes typos and doesn't care: To use the meme from earlier today:
*|ACCLAMATIONS_OF_AWESOMENESS|* to you!
Awesome! How about two more:
(Insert Store/website) FTW!
Starbucks tastes burnt.
What are the prizes? I just might play!
You forgot, "Fat People are Destroying America!"
Great job. But doesn't Our Lady of Perpetual Help have DRM rights to the bingo cards?
The Bingo cards are awesome!
Don't forget "It's a nonissue."
@catastrophegirl - sometimes makes typos and doesn't care:
ok, now two more cards with
"___ is/are destroying America!"
"___ store/website FTW!"
"Gets my vote for worst company in America"
and that makes 8... i don't want to clog the flickr pool
the template i used is at:
[www.teach-nology.com]
[save your text in a list, the program erases some of them when you click shuffle]
Love 'em! But they need some mention of how none of this would happen with a credit union, shurely??
Well, you can never have enough kittehs
I was just about to do this. I make my own bingo cards at home. I should have read the fine print, but credit cards are evil. I think the OP should have used a competitor.
Bingo!
@wvFrugan: now with bingo card choices for housing and banking/financial:
possible future additions... i'll tag them all the same in my photostream to match the consumerist pool.
but i won't call out any specific commentors' trending
I'll be the first to say this.....
slw nws dy?
=p
Seriously, though, hilarious.
