Screw off, 'cable guy'

Finally told the TV cable people to stick it. I only have "basic" and that's bad enough, they want you to believe that you have about 20 channels, but when you break it all down..............

Local 2 - 4 - 6 - 7 - 12 - 28-1 is network Fox,
I don't need cable for THOSE

Then you subtract the 24 hour shopping channels, the 24 hour preach channel, and the political BS (MSNBC er whatever)

Man, you said a mouthful, bruthuh.......oh, and let's not forget the 150 or so spanish language channels that are part of those "250 channels" that they so loudly proclaim. The sports channels can go too. I think I've had my fill of "World's Funniest Videos" of people falling off their skateboard or eating it on a dirt bike/lawn tractor.

I'm about a hair away from doing the same exact thing......as a matter of fact, I might just do that this week. Nothing like dropping about $150/month for my cable/internet/home phone + $150 Verizon cellphone!! Unfortunately, I'm not even sure if I can get those basic channels out where I live in the desert.
