Hi, I work at the largest cable company in New England. I'm sure you know our name.
Every day, someone buys a high-definition television set. This past month, many of you bought sets in hopes of seeing The Big Game in HD. All you could think was "Patriots will kick southern ass in high def and I'll be host to it!" Then you call the cable company mere days before the game assuming we'll let you pick up an HD box from the local office. Then you get mad when I, the salescritter that would get $1.50 for getting that HD cable box into your house, have to tell you the earliest we can come out is the Tuesday or even the Friday after the Superbowl.
Please don't call me a cocksucker, okay? Please do not yell at me as if I live on Mars and have no idea what a big deal this convergence of events this is (first high-def Superbowl, Patriots going to the big dance again) for Bostonians, Mancunians, and even Hartforders. Please don't call me some Martha Stewart asshole because I do not have enough technicians at my disposal to hook you up. ( Did you know a high-def TV usually has no built-in tuner? )
