]]> <![CDATA[Apologies For Poor Photo Choice Exercised In IDT Article]]> Dear Chad Steelgate.

John Mayer here. I for one am outraged that your establishment would, even unwillingly, decieve the american public in this manner.

As you are probably aware, I (John Mayer) am a big fan of the environment, and also really happen to like trains.

I'll shut up now.

You've posted (give or take) 7 articles today.
EVERY ONE has used "irregardless". Yes, I checked every one. I had to. I consider that one of the meanest 4/1 pranks evar.

]]> <![CDATA[Apologies For Poor Photo Choice Exercised In IDT Article]]> I too was confused by the picture in this article. Not only did I automagically assume that IDT delivered power to the railroads in the area, I was also under the impression that, due to the color of the power lines, T-Mobile had bought out IDT and is now providing railroad AND cell phone service in a unique and affordable package! I looked on the IDT website but couldn't find any cell phone packages, so maybe they just haven't updated it yet.

If the standard customer service route doesn't work, you may want to try an executive email carpet bomb. Hopefully, that will get some attention on your issue.

If not, I would start a "Consumerist-sucks" blog and contact someone in your local media.

This is unacceptable that a corporation such as Consumerists treat us in this manner! On the next "vs" poll, I am going to vote Consumerist worst than RIAA!

]]> <![CDATA[Apologies For Poor Photo Choice Exercised In IDT Article]]> Conglomerist,
I am very disappointed in you. While you state that you regret the error, nowhere in your "official statement" did you state that you are taking in seriously.

Over the past 11 months since the original story was published, I have boycotted taking electric powered trains because of the photograph that was posted and not wanting to support IDT.

As a result of this error, I have been walking every where (who can afford the gas), and have had to purchase 5 new pairs of shoes as I keep wearing the soles out, and I am out at least $30 as I buy very expensive shoes from K-mart.

I demand an immediate apology and $100 Million and a $5 Best Buy Gift Card to compensate me for the shoes and for pain and anguish while I boycotted the train because of your error. I am sure that others were also confused by this error.

I have already contacted Raelynn Campbell [consumerist.com] , Roy Pearson [blog.washingtonpost.com] and Kyla Ebbert [consumerist.com] as they were likely confused by this photo as well. I was unable to reach Ms. Campbell via E-mail, and Mr. Pearson was unable to meet with me as he could not find his pants. Ms Ebbert states that while boycotting electric trains and walking to her "Legs in the Air" photo shoot [consumerist.com] her skirt rode up allowing a group of people to canch a glimpse of her "granny panties". "Being seen in public in these [granny panties] was very embarrassing and it could ruin my career" says Ms. Ebbert "I can only flash my junk while going commando...this is the only way to advance my career."

I am further posting this really long and rambling complaint on the consumer advocacy site www.consumerist.com just cause I can :-p

Patiently awaiting your response (and my free TV from Verizon)
Rachacha

]]> <![CDATA[Apologies For Poor Photo Choice Exercised In IDT Article]]> @DrGirlfriend: "irregardless" and "supposably" i guess are somewhat understandable. what really pisses me off are the dumbasses (half of the web it seems) who can't understand the difference between "lose" and "loose" - i swear to god i've seen comments that directly quote clauses from the article/post that include the word "lose" spelled correctly, and they STILL convert it to "loose". read a f-ing book or something.

Wow.

But are they taking it seriously?

]]> <![CDATA[Apologies For Poor Photo Choice Exercised In IDT Article]]> The OP in this article is, as always, correct. How dare a site with such integrity put a photo on a story without making sure it is related. I mean, what next, putting a picture of a store that people cant immediately identify as their local branch of a national chain?

]]> <![CDATA[Apologies For Poor Photo Choice Exercised In IDT Article]]> Didn't you know that so-called "Public" transportation (like trains) is paid for by the government, and therefore un-american? Also, they have trains in many foreign countries, like France? I say we should boycott all trains.
