I can't believe big companies like this can be so stupid. Does no one stop and think, gee, if we did this, would it be a good thing or a bad thing? Would it be okay to replace other peoples ads? Any one with half a brain could come to the conclusion that it probably wouldn't fly.

Just like MS's idea with the tag thing, that went no where. How much time, money and manpower they probably spent on that, when a nit-whit with brain damage could have told them with one half a brain wave that it might cause problems.

It amazes me that companies like MS and charter and others waste their resources on crap like this when they could get a much better return by putting their resources into customer support or equipment, or even extending their market share.

I don't understand why companies feel the need to stoop to the bottom to make a extra buck or two.

Sad part is, most people wouldn't even know what's going on. My mom has charter but rarely uses her pc and would never know it was happening. She sent me her mp3 player through the mail so I could put music on it for her, many people are just not internet/computer savy enough to know.

Few days ago, my wife was bragging how she found this site where you could watch all these movies online for free. Later it came out, you had to sign up for Zango to watch them. She didn't know.
