On top of the surge pricing the bastards have been spamming me with emails. Damned if I can remember when I used my email with them, but their opt out mechanism has me pissed. Have to type in my email after hitting the link, then clearly remain on the list. Sure, FTC rules say you get 30 days or something before I need to stop receiving emails, but virtually every other marketer seems to take me off immediately.
Get drunk and call them cussing about the email thing?
I have been calling y'all for more than a month, every time looney toones comes on, y'all put porkys butthole on. I figure last night, second cartoon came on and it was porkys frigging old butthole. I said surely you aren't going to put the last two on porkys friggin buthole. Now y'all gonna die if you put prokys butthole on the last cartoon, like you did this morning. I have seen the dang old crap a half million and a half times, I don't see why in the heck you think these day old youngins are gonna watch porkys dang old butthole, time after time, after time after time and don't ever get tired of it. Like, yes y'all. Got up at 730 in the morning, and watched all day, and I don't think you were right on time with your own show all danggum day. I went to bed last night, I wanted to, to get one right. But y'all were wrong, still wrong. I don't say, guess ima have to call FCC about shutting y'alls down. Ya, no. Alright, dont, you just don't think three year old kids gonna buy something, buy a dang old armload of stuff, cause y'all be putting those dang old commercials on, dropping that crap on and on and on. It don't make crap today too, because you was five minutes late and this time your going to be five minutes late like last time, cause you dropping those commercials in there. I tell ya, y'all get ready to quit it. For some reason you think it's your job to add ten minutes of commercials every dang old time. Every time the show goes off, or IDK, whatever.
Just mark it as spam, since that's what it is.
