Some people just are gluttons for punishment. Ed Horrell gets his fill by calling up customer support lines and recording the results.

In this clip, Ed calls up an AT&T number and gets a Cingular operator. The CSR tells Ed that AT&T no longer exists. Ed’s confused because he saw an AT&T store in town. The flustered rep suggests that maybe the store is too poor or lazy to have changed their singage over.

Listen here.
