I was like "Wow, I can buy movie tickets online! Awesome!" I can remember the first time I had to deal with Comcast's customer service. I was like "Wow, this sucks!" Comcast, please don't screw up Fandango. I can remember the first time I used Fandango. I was like “Wow, I can buy movie tickets online!

There's nothing better than when these limited bandwidth telcos try and buy their way into more unique distribution channels. I mean, seriously, why can't they just invest 70 percent of their time on businesses that they are good at -- like limiting the amount of bandwidth that a consumer can buy, and slowing the growth of fiber connectivity. They can spend the other 20 percent of their time trying to figure out how to deal with web 2.0 companies that always want to monetize off their content, and than they can spend the remaining 10 percent of their time on paying enormous premiums for businesses like fandango, and than ruin them, like all old-school corporations do when they acquire "unique companies." 70/20/10. Doesn't anyone understand how this model contributes to real innovation? Tell me about it Alaska.

Not only is Fandago good to go but it's now also comcastic. You can now enjoy paper bag dolls talking with turtles about saving dough, saving moolah, and saving cabbage all the while in reality Comcast is huge corporation whose sole mission is to suck you dry. Hooray. The bastion of two crappy commercial campaigns can now come together.
