What the Hell, It Didn't Work For Blackwater

As everyone must know by now, in an attempt to escape their reputation as a bunch of over-paid, trigger-happy, kiddie-shooting mercenaries, Blackwater Worldwide ThugCo changed their name to "Xe Services."

It didn't work. Everybody and their dog still calls them "Blackwater".

So, with that massive fail in mind, Comcast decided to change its name to "Xfinity", because nothings says "we are a company that everybody hates" like adopting a new name that begins with the letter "X". In a stunning lack of sense, ComBastards now also refers to themselves as "XF", which is probably fitting as they are one extremely fucked up entity.

I don't know what Comcast is trying to pull off. They could change their name to the "Mother Theresa and Her Adorable Puppies Cable Company" and everybody would still hate them.

  1. They sucked when they were TCI, and they'll probably still suck as Xfiniti. In another decade or so, they'll change their names again. Some traditions are truly timeless.

  2. You're a company in trouble? Bad rep got you down? X it out!

    Next up: Dick Cheney changes his name to Xander Xavier. Alrighty, then ;).

  3. Hi! I'm a drive by representative to say smiley things about not sucking! For your convenience!

    Except, we do suck, otherwise we wouldn't need to pay people like me!
