Ha, what total clowns.
Comcast spokeswoman Jennifer Khoury admitted that the cable giant paid some people to arrive early for an FCC hearing on network neutrality. The purpose? Supposedly to hold places for Comcast employees who wanted to attend the hearing. Some of those lineholders didn't just wait in line -- they attended the meeting, taking spots which would otherwise have gone to members of the public. Some even fell asleep. Comcast says it didn't intend to block anyone from the hearing, but it doesn't really matter. What Comcast did wasn't illegal, just bad PR, done on the cheap. Next time, ply the seatwarmers with extra-shot Starbucks so they don't get caught napping. That seems easier.
So all they succeeded in doing was drawing attention to itself, and making everyone wonder even more:
"What have you got to hide??"
Hehe, seems the hearing may be redone, this time at another location.
Comcast wins the Idiot of the Day Award™.
