The answer is: This company calls itself an Internet Service Provider, however it doesn’t host it own e-mail, web-hosting, image and video hosting, blogging or customer service centre.

Ouch. In more than one way I suppose.

That’s what you deserve for having universal healthcare…..bastards.

Also you might also consider the RSS Feeds and how much of the title is shown because I almost didn’t want to check this out because I did not see “…the Client for $500″ until I bravely checked this out. LOL

LOL – I DID consider the title.
Funny, I posted this blog, and the next day, SPAM reporting works again. I tried the Feedback form for three days and it STILL doens’t work, but SPAM reporting is working.
I guess WP is a good feedback forum. (Yup, that was a pun, eat me.)

Further proof that JEOPARDY is being dumbed down. With answers like “This company calls itself an Internet Service Provider, however it doesn’t host it own e-mail, web-hosting, image and video hosting, blogging or customer service centre.”, Alex Trebek might as well be holding a cue card with “Rogers” printed on it.
I’m going back to watching “Wheel of Fortune: Government Employee Edition”. The current letters are:

Watching the meltdown of the US economy and a $700-billion bailout, I think I’d rather take pseudo-anal-raping and universal healthcare than a choice of two stupid candidates (neither of whom I’d share a beer with) and an upside-down mortgage.
If Rogers is God’s will on universal healthcare, I’d rather take Rogers than Sarah Palin & $700B debt. =)

I agree…..

It is funny how anal rape in the title has become a discussion about American politics and universal health care…which I would guess would be needed after that terrible thought.
Wednesday, 24 September, 2008 at 07:47 |
“It is funny how anal rape in the title has become a discussion about American politics”
There’s a very simple reason for that. Americans (US, not Canadian) are conditioned from a very early age to associate “anal rape” with “politics”. It’s not unusual for a psychologist to show a picture of a politician, ask the patient to say the first word or phrase to come to mind, and for the patient to reply “anal rape.” It is only when the patient answers otherwise that they are committed to a psych ward for observation.

Shush Rain – and we aren’t “East Coast”. we’re Central in Ontario.
I thought the day I posted this that “anal” being in the title was a mistake because the first seach for “anal” showed up when I posted it. However, it isn’t in the top searches very often at all.
I remember when “tight-assed” (meaning someone who is tight with money, always punctual etc) became pseudo-PC as “anal retentive”, which Orwelled into “anal”. Anal now hints at sex, politics, finance …
Wednesday, 24 September, 2008 at 09:27 |
I can’t say I’ve ever heard the phrase “tight-ass”. “Tight-lipped” (uncommunicative) and “tightwad” (miserly), but not “tight-ass.” I’d like to see it in American football… “tight-ends, wide receivers, but the tight-ass makes the catch, it’s good, touchdown!”
But then I’m not too anal about words
Wednesday, 24 September, 2008 at 12:17 |
I’ve always considered anything on the Atlantic side of Manitoba to be “East” as that is basically the center of the U.S. We all know that everything in the world is measured relative to the States. ;P
Besides, sharing a border with Quebec contaminates most everything on that side of the country, anyway. That’s part of what makes the Newfies so weird; it’s a survival instinct. Alas, there’s little hope for Ontario as it is the seat of the political machine.
Back to topic, I’ve never been all that bothered by corportate subcontracting … it’s just a part of the way of things and it’s always been that way. Rogers can bill itself as an ISP because it does, indeed, provide the services, even if it doesn’t originate them. It’s like questioning why Ellen Degeneres feels the need to dance on TV … it’s disturbing, yes but no good comes from dwelling on it.
As for the “anal” discussion … I’m not even going to bugger with that one.

*applause for Rain*
That was worth your own TV show! LOL, nice job.
You can Prometheus ought to start a west coast/east coast debate show. One in a suit, one Goth; one Right, one Left. OMG, I want residuals.
Wednesday, 24 September, 2008 at 12:34 |
“You can Prometheus ought”
Not English words assemble can. I don’t like wearing suits either. Typical day-wear for me going into the office is khakis and a polo shirt. I try to wear jeans every once in a while, but it garners comments on how “you contract for the Federal government, try to dress the part.” (”Sorry, is slobbering drool a form of attire?”)
And, OMG, if you get residuals, they’ll be paid in Canadian currency. Once upon a time that was threat, since one Canadian quarter was worth approximately 2 pennies in US currency. Given the current meltdown of the US economy, the Canadian quarter is probably on par with the Euro.
Wednesday, 24 September, 2008 at 19:59 |
“You can Prometheus ought”
Hmmm.
I actually found that very Yoda sounding. Of course, Yoda was either a 900 year old half-baked Jedi or one of many alter egos of a slightly schizophrenic Jim Henson. Either way, it’s only cool if there is a degree of consistency.
Hey, Prometheus, isn’t “khakis and a polo shirt” the new business suit of our time? I’ve found the look has caught on across many corporate spectra. I think of it as a sort of laid back cross between an Enron CEO and a Microsoft game designer. Wow, talk about the devil’s lovechild. O_O
A TV show, eh?
Well, only if my place can be taken by a Gothic muppet voiced by Jim Henson channeled via Chris Angel. And I wouldn’t giggle too hard over the .03 above par CAD/USD. With the Federal Election in a couple of weeks there could quite well be an idiot installed in to Ottawa that rivals Bush and equally capable of tanking the Canadian economy. Harper sure gave it his best shot.

Oh god. I can’t stop seeing that episode of South Park play through my head, over and over and over. “Christmas in Canada”. They are following the only road in Canada, so Kyle can beg the prime minister to have his adopted Canadian brother back. As they approach a town, their sheep riding companion warns them, “Boys, be careful. We are now entering French Canada. People from here can be, a little odd.”
That’s more or less what he said.
*glares at all you Canadians, and shakes fist a little, too*
South Park has taught me a lot of life lessons, such as not to trust our northern neighbours, from which we get all of our vulgarity, crude jokes, and toilet humour. Don’t give me those, “South Park was using satire to convey a deeper message”, or, “Terrance and Philip don’t even exist,” LIES!!! I’ll just close my eyes and scream AALAALAALAALAA! I SEE THROUGH THIS CHARADE, DESPITE MY LACK OF VISION! BLAME CANADA! BLAME CANADA!
Fu: Hey wait, where am I?
*clunking sound of heavy door locking*
*a slot opens at eye level*
NIAC: Listen, Fu. We put it to a vote, and the results were 4 for putting you in “time out”, versus 1 for releasing an unspeakable horror from another dimension upon you… so we compromised.
*while sitting on the floor of the white padded room, Fu becomes aware of the sound of a CD whirring to life*
And THEN…
OOPS! I did it again… I played with your heart… got lost in the game… ooh baby baby…
*drooling and bashing head against walls*
NIAC: Wasn’t it considerate of me to pad those walls for you? I’m sure now you’ll respect Canadia… damn it, I mean CANADA. You will respect Canada from now on. Enjoy the rest of your life.

It appears I lied. This either makes me a mediocre public official for admitting that, or a just another SCEA lackey (ie “Home will be this year… HeHeHe”) .
I’m wearing brown leather Bostonians, pressed grey slacks, button-down shirt and tie. It makes your case alot better when you dress the part. I’m asking for $400,000 and 3 warm bodies to burn hours spending it. Wish me luck.
