Provoking Comcast
ByNalts
Well after the Comcast Sleeping video and the AOL cancellation video, I thought I’d give this a go. I needed to cancel Comcast anyway… so I tried to see if I could provoke this rep. No such luck, but I had fun anyway. I find it very interesting that Comcast (and probably other companies with…

I first saw this thing about 6 years ago in Venice where local gypsies were selling them as toys on the street… we didn’t know what it was at first but then acquired one (they were almost free) and made a thorough inspection… yup, some flour and a condom.
