• Commented on Restaurant Uses Old School Social Media To Complain About Verizon
  Verizon failed to fix this restaurant's service for just six days??? They failed to fix my residential phone service and internet for close to a MONTH, until my letter to their then-CEO brought them to their senses. It's unfortunate that...
• Commented on Ryanair CEO Needs Police Escort After Gloating In Front Of Laid-Off Workers
  This clod should be forced to fly around the world three times on a Ryanair plane -- with NO lavatory privileges......
• Commented on JCPenney Getting New Logo & Something Resembling Genius Bars
  Is J.C. Penney owned by Sears? If so, good luck to them. And the new logo is atrocious, as is the whole square concept. I do like the everyday low pricing, however, and wish all stores that had "members' clubs"...
• Commented on Butter Queen Paula Deen Brings It Full Circle, Gets Paid To Endorse Diabetes Program
  No wonder Americans are suffering from such an epidemic of obesity -- and diabetes......
• Commented on Best Buy Responds To Reports That It Is Dying A Slow Death
  That guy in the blue shirt who looks like a mentally deficient bartender is BB's CEO? No wonder they're trending down a slippery slope......
• Commented on Barnes & Noble Eyeing The Idea Of Breaking Up With Nook
  Grrr... One of the main reasons I bought a Nook Simple Touch (well, besides the excellent ergonomics) was the ability to read ebooks in a nearby B&N store for an hour a day. If this benefit goes away, I'll be...
• Commented on Wegmans Flip-Flops, Brings Back Alec Baldwin Ads
  Perhaps these flip-flops are proving the latest attention-getting gimmicks for companies. IMO bringing back Baldwin was the worst move Wegman's made since making him their spokesman in the first place. I have no use for any product or company this...
• Commented on Letter Detailing Sexual Harassment Allegations Against Former HP CEO Released
  It sounds like his hard drive is working overtime!...
• Commented on Sears In-Store Pickup: Not Fast, Not In Stock, Not Helpful
  I have a friend who works for the ad agency that just won the Sears account. I told him they have their work cut out for them. If Sears' sales pick up despite this unending flood of bad word-of-mouth, then...
• Commented on Perhaps This FedEx Delivery Man Is Preparing For A Monitor-Throwing Contest
  Of the three major methods of package delivery -- UPS, USPS, and Fed Ex -- I have always had more problems with Fed Ex, notably beaten-up packages and surly drivers. I suspect the problem at the company is systemic, and...
• Commented on Mandatory Xbox 360 Update Breaks Some Consoles, Microsoft Claims 'Coincidence'
  Hmm -- maybe 2011 will turn out to be the "year of the PS3" after all......

  Just when it sounded as if GM was doing some things right these days......
• Commented on Enjoy Your Last Weekend Of $1 Redbox Rentals
  Grrr... I wonder if Blockbuster Express will keep their $1 rental on titles that have been out a while......
• Commented on The 4th Replacement Laptop HP Sent Me Doesn't Work, Either
  I thought it was common knowledge that HP stands for "How Pathetic"......
• Commented on How To Beat HDTV "Customer Service"
  It's strange -- Consumer Reports claims that flat-panel sets are quite reliable, but anyone who reads the almost daily litany of horrors (Samsung chief offender) at ConsumerAffairs.com would come to a very different conclusion. I'm pleased to hear of Panasonic's...
• Commented on Some Supermarkets Don't Want To Touch Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls
  Please ignore my last comment. I found the SNL video above. This was more of SNL than I really want to see, given the sophomoric writing these days......
• Commented on Some Supermarkets Don't Want To Touch Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls
  Can someone explain the derivation of the name "Schweddy Balls"? Was this a sketch on SNL? Is this someone's mispronunciation of "sweaty balls"? Seniors want to know......
• Commented on Consumer Reports: Buy Your Electronics On The Internet
  Crutchfield has terrible prices. They also once tried to "advise" me into a DIY car stereo installation which was WAY above my home tinkering abilities. I like the others listed, however......
• Commented on Target Store Has Great Black Friday Idea: Only 30 People At A Time
  This sounds like a recipe for disaster, as the hordes in the parking lot behind crush the people being held back at the front door... I sure hope I'm wrong, but I think I'll continue to do my holiday shopping...
• Commented on 2 Years, 12 Calls, 3 Installation Appointments And I Still Don't Have FiOS
  In theory the breakup of Ma Bell years back was supposed to give American consumers better choices in telecommunications -- NOT! If you want to see how broken our infrastructure is, look no farther than Verizon or Time-Warner. I'm considering...
• Commented on The Right Way To Get A Bartender's Attention
  Jeez, I never do anything obnoxious in a bar, but I don't appreciate steroidal attitude from the staff either. I think I will stay well away from your establishment....
• Commented on With Neighb's 'Net Down, Super Holds TWC Node Hostage. Ransom: Free Cable
  I'm surprised the neighbors who lost their cable in nearby buildings didn't go over and beat the sh*t out of the super who was holding their service hostage!...
• Commented on Purina Goes After Desirable Doggy Demographic With Sounds Only Your Pet Can Hear
  Is it the case that European TV broadcasts have a higher upper limit on the audio frequency response than we have in America? That might explain why readers here see no response from their dogs when they play the ad......
• Commented on Vizio Claims Repairing Their TVs Isn't Cost-Effective
  For the cost of these flat panel sets, I expect ten years of trouble-free use. Typically I hear that these sets fail in two or three years. That's why I'm not upgrading from my trusty Panasonic CRT until it dies......
• Commented on Consumerist Techniques Pay Off, Even With Dell
  Anyone considering buying an Alienware computer -- especially now that they're owned by Dell -- should definitely go read some of the horror stories over at ConsumerAffairs.Com. If you're into hardcore gaming, I again have to mention a fine machine...
• Commented on Which Generation Has The Recession Hurt The Most?
  The American Dream has ended for all but the top 1%. Until the folks in the castles on the hills start paying more tax -- and stop passing the burden of Bush's War onto the rest of us -- this...
• Commented on New ADT Sales Tactic: Cold-Call People, Frighten Them
  This is why I: a) am on the Do Not Call registry; b) do not answer calls from anyone I don't want to speak to, after checking my Caller ID. Cold calling must stop -- permanently....
• Commented on Toshiba Considers Using Your Laptop Mouse 'Abuse'
  Toshiba was a brand I had been considering for my next laptop, but this story makes me reconsider. Shame on them!...
• Commented on This Is Why You Avoid Buying The Cheapest Wine Even If You're Stingy
  For my daily glass of wine with dinner, I turn to Trader Joe's Chilean Merlot at $4 a bottle. I'll put this bottle up against any $15 bottle at my regular neighborhood wine store. That having been said, if I'm...
