  • My cable company is SO dumb...

    Everybody: How dumb are they?!

    Hee hee, I shall never grow tired of that

    Anyhow, my cable company is SO dumb, they're still running commercials for some local Chamber of Commerce wine-tasting thing that took place March 5, or last Saturday.

    Today is Wednesday, March 9. Hello, anybody awake over there?

    Actually, I blame the Chamber, who scheduled and is paying for those ad slots. The cable company won't care if the date has passed, so long as they get paid. Bureaucracy and capitalism at it's finest.

      It seems to me the Chamber of Commerce had their own wine tasting event just before placing the ad.

        Does the cable company name start with a Ch?

        If it does I'm not surprised. I'm so glad I'm rid of those idiots.

          the cable company aren't dumb, they get paid to show adverts they don't care if they are nonsense or not, it's like adverts in newspapers telling you to watch a tv show TONIGHT when it's not on for another 3-4 days.

            No. It starts with C-O-M

              Ah, well then. Regardless of whether or not the ad silliness is their fault, they're still dumb.

                Our local stations do that, too. I've seen commercials at 11:30 at night that say "hurry, sale ends today!" And the store closed at 9 PM.

                My guess is the store paid for a certain number of appearances and the station gives them what they bought, even if it doesn't do them much good.
                When you start at zero, everything's progress.

                  This reminds me of Election Nights, watching the 11pm news well after polls are closed, and still running political ads... grrrrr
