What is the point of having a subscription if anytime there's something special, we have to go out to the store and purchase a second copy of TV Guide at the regular price
( Read more... )
LOL!! Well, I put on my "professional" voice. I once chewed out a very popular movie critic because he's a dick and never likes anything. He replied. I was like, "OH NO!" But since I used my "professional" voice, he was very curtious back and then I was like, "Awe, he's sweet... he's still a dick," and I don't read his reviews anymore.
Your Jate icons always make me smile... and all the "Please touch this man"-ish Jack icons. Hee. The Others need to put him and Kate on the Claire-Drugs and throw them in the Honeymoon suite together. They'll have Jate babies in no time.
I second that!keyweegirlieAugust 25 2006, 22:56:28 UTC
You know what it's not childish at all, because when I was grocery shopping last night and saw the 'special issue' I got ANNOYED as hell, but I told myself I wouldn't buy a second copy. Thanks to your post, I don't feel so strange about being annoyed anymore... :-)

No, I've seen a few people pissed off at discovering they have a subscription for nothing. They've done it before, I believe with the same thing last year. Had the "CD" in the TV Guide before the DVD for the first season came out, and I had to go buy a second issue to get the little DVD thinger. Pissed me off that time too.
But this time. Dammit. I want a free shirt or something out of the deal. =P
I wholeheartedly agree. It pisses me off that as a subscriber you NEVER get the damned DVD's. I mean I squeed over the sun/jin goodness but then I was at the market yesterday and what do I see, a friggin' DVD. WTF is that about.
You're not childish, you're right. Subscribers get screwed!
Be annoyed, you have every right. Besides venting in a letter makes you feel better..I did the same thing when I read huge spoilers for X3 the day I was going to see it in NEWSWEEK of all places. There was no warning or anything so I let them know I was pissed - I felt better the moment that I hit send.
AAAAAAHH!! They spoiled X3!? I know I've seen quite a few things getting spoiled lately by reputable magazines and I'm just like, "What!" It's insane. They're getting a little out of hand in their quest to get more readers (and more money.)
And ugh, I'll go get it this weekend. I just hope it's worth the extra three friggin' dollars I'm paying. That's ALMOST a gallon of gas! Ugh.
You have every right to be pissed. It's crazy to treat your loyal customers that way. Didn't they learn in business school that it's more difficult to win a new customer than keep an existing one??
Mkay, we have a HUGE banner in our office that says, "Our most important customer is a CURRENT customer." You just gave me scary flashbacks to the Big Red Banner of Doom.
But ugh, yes, WHY anger your loyal fans when it's SO EASY to keep them happy? JUST PUT THE DVD ON THE TV GUIDE. God, you might have to, what, do the Suran Wrap thing to ensure the mail carrier doesn't steal it (because that's what happens to the Obby's of the world, they become mail carriers and fucking STEAL shit.)

I think it's time you open up a can of whoop-ass.
This is how the letter would've looked if I had edited before you sent it...
To whoever is reading this.
FUCK YOU!
love, me.
And yes, I did make that lil' icon. I'm glad it made you giggle. But seriously, Jack needs to get horny...or just laid. Either way, I'll be happy.

And that's the point of the show, right? ;)
