Time Warner Cable = Idiots

Today I got a mass mail piece from Time Warner. On the outside it said “Thank You”. My curiosity piqued, I opened it, thinking perhaps it had something to do with the ~$18 they’re supposed to be crediting my bill. Instead it’s a solicitation urging me to switch to their digital phone service.

Hey Time Warner,

Right after several hundred thousand of your customers were without cable service for a couple of weeks (or more) probably isn’t the time to try to sell them your digital phone service.

I mean really! My power was out for nearly a week, my cable for over 2; my phone (and DSL), on the other hand, worked the entire time.
