AT&T is test-driving a new marketing gimmick in Austin, Texas. If you live in the right neighborhoods, you can get an ultra-fast download service for $99 per month. But, if you agree to allow AT&T to track your action on your browser and to send you advertising accordingly, you can get the same service for $70 per month.
COMMENTS:
Now isn’t that just a rat’s ass. For $29 per month extra on your bill, you can
keep AT&T from sending you advertising.
I always thought that when you paid for a service, such as AT&T
internet service, you shouldn’t have to be subjected to a barrage of ads you
don’t want. This is a tad like extortion
in my book. Suppose I tell you to send
me $29 per month to keep me from having advertising on my blogs? Well, you can lead a geek to water, but you
can’t make him fork over money for a dumb idea.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. How can Obama and Sebelius ask insurers to pay claims on
people who have signed up for ObamaCare and not paid? (Deidre ~ Kennewick, WA)
A. How can Obama and Sebelius ask doctors to provide service
to patients whose coverage has not yet been confirmed by the insurance
companies because ObamaCare’s computers can’t talk with the insurance company
computers? It’s the same personal
character that allowed Obama to shove this worthless piece of crap down America’s
throats in the first place: balls.
Q. You’ve been awfully quiet about the Judge who let the
teenage drunk driver off the hook for killing four people based on his being
raised in an affluent family. Do you
want to weigh in on that? (Grubby ~
Ypsilanti, MI)
A. The argument can also be made that the kid was from a
poor family and never had the chance to learn right from wrong. Liberal judges have no rightful place on the
bench; the only justice they know has nothing to do with historical law. I rarely comment on downright, shameful
judicial activism; I don’t want the devil to strike me dead.
Q. How many insurance companies are actually reinstating
policies that were cancelled due to ObamaCare?
(Arturo ~ North Las Vegas, NV)
A. Between the states whose laws do not provide for “uncanceling”
canceled policies and companies who have had their fill of ObamaCare, very few
policies are being reinstated. Aetna has
said that they simply don’t have the time to even think about it before
deadlines loom. It’s the largest insurer
so far to reach a decision. But, Obama
doesn’t care; ObamaCare is the law and you will abide by it. If you’re not covered, he’s going to sick the
I.R.S. on you. Does this sound like wartime
Germany, or not? I still wouldn't sign up for it; they'd have to subject me to water boarding to make me even think about it.
