Cable TV Ads - A pack of lies.

I seen another cable tv (stop the tv tax) commercial last night.

What a crock of crap! They say 'The CRTC wants to tax.....' What a LIE! An outright bold, in-yer-face LIE!

I hope that Canadians can see through their lies. It is NOT the CRTC that wants us to pay a tax. The CRTC wants the cable providers to pay for the content they sell to us at enormous outrageous prices.

Sure, I disagree with the CRTC only because no government body should be permitted to regulate what a business should pay for their product. That, however is not the point.

If the CRTC insists on this increase in costs (for the provider) it should NOT be shoveled onto the consumer. Any attempt to lay this additional cost on US should be resisted to the point of telling these giant money-hungry, criminal organizations to take their service and STUFF IT!

How many more increases are we going to accept in this industry? How many billions in profit are enough for these faceless, service-lacking criminals? What is the point that the consumer will be fed up with it to the point of canceling the service and making them hear our voice.

If we hit them in the pocket-book, they will listen! As long as we stay the stupid sheep we have always been to these companies, we will continue to be screwed and taken advantage of.

Are you a stupid sheep - following the TV provider shepherd wherever and at whatever cost they choose? How long will we continue to pay for this useless CRTC organization.

How many times does the hamburger hostess need to screw up before we FIRE her?

If you ask me, us Canadians are wimps - we will sit back and whine about our situation and swear we will do something. The truth is we never do anything - we let our 'leaders' take what they want, when they want and do nothing more than whine about it!

Don't be a sheep! Have the courage to go without 700 channels of CRAP to make a point.

'I will NOT be taken advantage of.... I will NOT accept this final straw... Rogers, Bell, take your cable service and blow it out your cake-hole!

Enough is enough....!

Baaa.. Baaaa.. Baaaa Canadian sheep have you any courage?

Cable TV Tax? Are you kidding me?

Where do I start with the cable tv tax?

There is something wrong in the entire industry. As bold a statement as that may be, thats the only thing I can read into it.

Let's explore a little about what Canadians deal with in our communications needs.

Everyone (pretty-much) needs: Home Phone, Internet, Television, in most cases wireless service.

At Rogers TV you'll pay between $120 and $500 per month for that service
At Bell Canada, ExpressVu service providers you're looking at basically the same price

What are you paying for?

CableTV: 8 minutes of programming, then 4 - 10 minutes of advertisements (which have a louder volume than the program.... by design)

In order to get the basic Television channels 9 out of 10 of us want, we have to order 6 - 8 different 'packages'.

First, why do I ahve to watch ads, I pay for this service to be brought to my home.

Where do they get off wanting another $10 a month..?

The 3 different groups involved here have the right idea (if their goal is to rob you and I of more money each month) :: What I mean is... they are tripping over each other (or give off that illusion) trying to blame this $10 increase on the others -

This is a SMOKE SCREEN -- to keep you confused as to where and who this tax is all about! DO NOT FALL for this smack in your face. YOU are not stupid enough NOT TO SEE that this 'fight' means NOTHING will win you NOTHING - they are using it to keep us confused, to bring in a new charge that no one clearly understands, and that no one wants to pay!

A fee that will benefit BIG business and screw the normal joe!

The plain and simple fact of the new Cable TV tax is ::: We already pay WAY too much for some of the WORST service in the business of consumer products period.

Are YOU going to sit on YOUR hands and let them screw you AGAIN..? I hope not.. I know I do not want to.

Comment here... lets find an action plan.. lets see if we can get SOMEONE to look at this industry, someone to PROTECT the interest of the 'little' guy!

My next post with show you how Rogers uses its monthly bills to keep their customers confused, allowing them to overbill, double bill and outright STEAL from their customers.

I will be scanning the bills to prove it and including the contact information of the account who has confirmed criminal activity.

PLEASE... comment, let me know there are people of like minds - let's bring these BIG companies down to size, teach them a lesson they have needed since Ted Rogers bought out all the little companies and crowned himself the Cable King.

It is HIGH TIME we did SOMETHING to stop these companies.
