Cable giant Comcast is on the verge of acquiring other cable giant Time Warner Cable and many people, including Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), are concerned about one company controlling such a large percentage of the TV and internet market. This new video from Funny or Die pretty much sums why the lack of competition in this space could be so problematic.
As the fake spokesperson for Comcast says in the video below, “No matter what happens, we don’t give a fuck about you.” He goes on explain that abandoning cable TV for Netflix or Hulu won’t work either because Comcast owns Hulu and makes Netflix pay them extra for streaming content. Basically, you will never be able to escape Comcast’s grasp.
“So thank you for choosing Comcast,” he says with a laugh. “You don’t have a choice. Hey America, go fuck yourselves.
