			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sweet.  Two advertising rants in a row.</p>
<p>This one is about the recent Dominos &#8220;Bailout&#8221; spots.  Of course they are trying to intimate that they are giving you a GREAT DEAL when infact, they&#8217;ve been selling those pizzas and sandwiches for $5 each for months.</p>
<p>The sandwiches aren&#8217;t worth $5 and are about 1cm thick with meat.  The rest is all bun.  They&#8217;re not worth anything near $5 each.  The pizzas aren&#8217;t much better.  They put so little toppings on them that they may as well just call it &#8220;cheesy bread&#8221; in round form.</p>
<p>I can think of much better food to spend $15 on that is way more filling than their offerings.  Plus, to use the government financial bailout as a marketing gimmick sickens me when our economy is in it&#8217;s current state.  Dominos earns my list of companies to boycott.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why has advertising decided to go to negative cutting of people&#8217;s sensibilities?  Comcast is now running ads that basically say &#8220;You&#8217;re friggen stupid!&#8221; if you don&#8217;t subscribe to their Triple Play.</p>
<p>I would like to point out that it&#8217;s common sense NOT to subscribe to their Triple Play.  Allow me to expound upon that:</p>
<p><strong>Television Service</strong></p>
<p>In my service market, we had Comcast for television until November of last year.  It was costing us $125 a month to have three dvr&#8217;s, and we could only get analog channels 2-65 on the other 3 TV&#8217;s in the house.  We changed to DirecTV and now have two HD Dual-Tuner DVR&#8217;s (With about 60 channels in HD vs. 15 from Comcast.), a non-HD dual-tuner DVR, and three regular set-top boxes for other TV&#8217;s in the home and pay $89 a month.  Plus, every single channel we get is DIGITAL (even the non-hd channels) and the picture looks outstandingly better than anything Comcast offered.  I think we&#8217;re the ones with &#8220;Common Sense&#8221; on this particular matter.</p>
<p><strong>Phone Service</strong></p>
<p>Anything more than $19.95 a year is a rip-off.  Bluntly put, if you need &#8220;home phone&#8221; service, and really, who does with the invention of the cell phone; common sense would tell you to get <a title="Magic Jack" href="http://www.magicjack.com" target="_blank">Magic Jack</a>.  Twenty bucks and everything included to yuck it up unlimited-like to the US and Canada all you want for a year.  There&#8217;s also cheap options like <a href="http://www.skype.com" target="_blank">Skype</a> and a bit more pricey like Vonage, but still far superior than Comcast Voice.  I have a cell phone, so I don&#8217;t even need a home phone.</p>
<p><strong>Internet Service</strong></p>
<p>For the Triple Play, you get an unadvertised &#8220;Economy&#8221; tier which is 2 meg down/256k up.  That&#8217;s only good if you just occasionally browse the web for text.  If you want to use any type of video service like <a href="http://www.hulu.com" target="_blank">Hulu</a>, Comedy Central, Netflix streaming, etc, FORGET IT.  Now, mind you, we DO have Comcast internet, but it&#8217;s the 16 meg tier because our service area was grandfathered in when they took over Insight.</p>
<p>So, I&#8217;m sorry Comcast, but it just isn&#8217;t &#8220;Common Sense&#8221; to subscribe to your Triple Play.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Am I the only person who finds media and print ads that tell you to &#8220;click our website!&#8221; thoroughly annoying?</p>
<p>Please explain to me what exactly I am going to &#8220;click&#8221; in order to get to your website if I do not have a shortcut or bookmark to your site?</p>
<p>One must &#8220;type&#8221; a website into their browser in order to &#8220;visit&#8221; it. The correct terminology to request persons peruse your site is to refer to it as a &#8220;visit&#8221;, as you must &#8220;type&#8221; it in for whence to go to it.  If one were to follow their reasoning, one would &#8220;click&#8221; a letter to their loved ones, or &#8220;click&#8221; up a memo for their boss.</p>
<p>You sound completely moronic when you tell me to &#8220;click our website today!&#8221;</p>
<p>To loosely paraphrase Ted Stevens (R) of Alaska: &#8220;it&#8217;s like saying the internet is a series of tubes and can get clogged with&#8230; internets.. I got an internet last week&#8230; but it didn&#8217;t arrive til today..&#8221;</p>
