75-yo Woman "Hammers" Comcast

This is freaking awesome. Picture the fax machine scene from "Office Space" and substitute Comcast equipment, an old woman, and a hammer. Excellent.

From the article:

The insulting idea that, as Shaw puts it, "they thought just because we're old enough to get Social Security that we lack both brains and backbone."

So, after stewing over it all weekend, on the following Monday, she went downstairs, got Don's claw hammer and said: "C'mon, honey, we're going to Comcast."

Did you try to stop her, Mr. Shaw?

"Oh no, no," he says.

Hammer time: Shaw storms in the company's office. BAM! She whacks the keyboard of the customer service rep. BAM! Down goes the monitor. BAM! She totals the telephone. People scatter, scream, cops show up and what does she do? POW! A parting shot to the phone!

"They cuffed me right then," she says.

Her take on Comcast: "What a bunch of sub-moronic imbeciles."

Bob Garfield, who runs ComcastMustDie.com, wrote last week he was happy the site had become an outlet for "so much deep-seated rage," but hoped customers would "keep the hammer assaults down to a bare minimum."
So, what? One hammer assault against a company is a crime wave? I think she should have called Slater and had him come down there to help.

Schwartzenegger should take notes from this lady: "NOW do I have your attention?"

She does, however, finally, have phone service.

On Verizon.
Fucking classic. I hope my wife gets ornery like that with old age.

Seriously--I expect to see a DirecTV commercial with an elderly woman smashing her cable HD tuner with a hammer at some point. Done to the tune of "Hammer Time".

Maybe they'll continue the tradition of taking actual scenes from movies and inserting the actors doing the commercial with Kathy Bates and the sledgehammer scene from "Misery".

Yeah, borderline assaults on people with a shitty job, who you've probably never seen or spoken to before, just because they work for a company you have problems with, is awesome. Say what you will about the company, but this woman's a fucking idiot, and probably psychotic.
