I've decided that public figures should hire ME as their media-relations consultant

What Michael Phelps Should Say:
"C'mon, guys -- you only said not to use performance-ENHANCING drugs."

What Sheppard Fairey Should Say:
"Okay, AP -- I'll make you this offer for a settlement: I make no admission of wrongdoing, but I'll give you 50% of the money I made off of the OBAMA poster."

This is one of my favorite webcomics. Like, ever.

Dear Comcast: Please to suck less.

Because I hate going through the mail downstairs, I've been trying to sign up for the various places online billing things, and "email the bill rather than paper mail" things.

Okay, fine, so Comcast's registration wouldn't work through Opera -- I've gotten used to that, and it did load up on Firefox.

And they sent me the confirmation email.

It said:

Dear Comcast Customer,

In order to complete the registration process, please click on the button below.

We hope you enjoy the convenience of viewing and paying your bill online with Comcast's EcobillTM process.

If you did not register for online account access and received this e-mail in error, please call Comcast Customer Service at 1-800-COMCAST.

Sincerely,

Comcast Cable

With, as you can see, no button to click on. I've been digging through the headers of the mail, and I found the malformed image tag that should be a button, and I found the thing that it's trying to pass through to the webserver, and I tried just cutting and pasting that into the URL field of the browser . . . which failed in such a way that suggested that it WAS the right thing to do, but they screwed up. (It gave an error message that seemed appropriate to the situation.)

In general, it looks like whoever coded up this thing screwed up.

They're my internet service provider. The ONE thing I ask of them is that they understand internet stuff. . .
