Remember back when I was all excited about the new Blackberry screenreader? Well, as time went on and press releases came out, my excitement turned to disbelief and suspicion. First, the press releases hardly gave any info. They spent more time raving about how you can customize the speed and pitch of the voice than …

Did Somebody Say McDouchebags?
Does McDonald’s really think people will confuse a charity concert with their burgers and fries? Or do they just like suing people who couldn’t possibly fight back? Judging from this article, which lists other people they have sude, including children and small businesses, I think the choice is B. Her name is Lauren McClusky. She …
British Airways: Dead Bodies Are Nicer Seat-Mates Than Live Men
So let me get this straight. According to British Airways, it’s ok to seat a corpse beside someone, but god forbid we put a child next to a male stranger! Mirko Fischer and his wife, who was six months pregnant, were flying. His wife sat in the window seat because she thought she’d have more …

It’s A Cruise To Remember Alright
This is so sick. Haiti is in the midst of dealing with a horrible earthquake. Masses of people are dead and the survivors are starving. Many more children are orphaned. But cruise ships are still docking nearby so people can have a barbecue and drink some cocktails. Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines has a private beach …
Two Deadly Words: "How Much?"

I seriously didn’t think he’d be that mad, I just thought he might be a tad perplexed about …

Customer Depreciation Event
It’s that time of year again. That time of the year when Rogers rolls out their Rogers Customer Appreciation contest, it’s inaccessible, I get mad, and blog what happens when phone and email reps hear about it. Bla bla bla. So yesterday I get the email saying that Rogers would like to thank me for …
Tracksall Pharma Plus
I had a weird thing happen to me at the drugstore. I went up to pay, and the girl said, “What’s your postal code?” Why in hell would they need the postal code when I’m just buying some bread? Hell, why would they need the postal code at all? So I asked her. She said, …
That Wasn’t My Chair After All
Way to ruin everybody’s fun, jackholes! I realize you technically have a point, but sometimes it’s better to shut up and take the free publicity rather than pull the typical business move and come off looking like a party pooping pack of dick whistles. At least this won’t prevent them from selling it, but it’s …
United Loses Luggage
There’s nothing I need to add here, this speaks for itself. United loses bags of broken-guitar singer After famously breaking his guitar, United Airlines has managed to cause further trouble for David Carroll by losing his luggage — just as the Canadian singer-songwriter was en route to deliver a speech about customer service. Departing from …
