Imagine if you got fed the same BS from Samsung, Panasonic or the like regarding your HD TV.

Saw this on Gizmodo from webdevmike and it really helps bring to light how FU*KED UP all this really is and it's only going to get worse!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Customer: "Hello? Hi, yes. I'm trying to watch my new HDTV and it just doesn't seem to be working for me."

Customer Service: "I apologize that you're experiencing issues sir. What seems to be the problem exactly?"

Customer: "This may sound completely ridiculous, but, when I'm sitting on my couch my TV only shows static."

Customer Service: "Static? There is no signal at all?"

Customer: "That's correct. And it only seems to happen when I'm sitting down on my couch."

Customer Service: "Well sir, that IS odd. Have you tried... standing up and viewing the TV?"

Customer: "Standing up?"

Customer Service: "Yes sir."

Customer: "You're asking me to stand up when I'm viewing my TV?"

Customer Service: "Yes sir."

Customer: "Fu*k you, I've been sitting down when watching TV for over 30 years. What kinda ******** is this?"

Customer Service: "Well sir, we do offer a post that you may lean on. It not only alleviates your TV reception issues but it also provides ample back support. We have 8 colors to choose from."
 
funny you say this.....I had a problem with my Samgarbage TV and they basically said "huh well get it fixed" . Crappy customer service from large companies is what I have become use to anymore. The problem is most of us that have the common sense to buy an Apple product have waaaaayy higher expectations from the product and the company when there is an issue. I never thought I would see the day where Apple would do like every other company an business does.....stick their head in the sand and play dumb.
 
The right analogy would be:

"I get static when I raise my left butt cheek while sitting on the couch"
"Can you avoid doing that?"
"How else would I fart?"
