Comcast: A Toxic Mixture of Evil and Stupidity

See, there is this outfit called Real Grrls, which teaches young girls how to make movies, videos and animations. One of the staffers at Reel Grrls tweeted this about FCC Commissioner Baker voting for the NBC-Comcast merger and then going to work for Comcast:
OMG! @FCC Commissioner Baker voted 2 approve Comcast/NBC merger & is now lving FCC for A JOB AT COMCAST?!?
Well, that didn't go over too well with one of the muckety-mucks at ComBastards, because they were going to give Reel Grrls $18,000. So some vice preznit at Comcast wrote them a pissy letter and wrote, in essence: "You are being so mean to us! You hurt our feelings! We're not going to give you a donation, so there!!"

Of course, news of that bitchy letter got out, circling the Internet and now making its way into print. And since punishing a bunch of young girls makes Comcast look like a bunch of abject douchebags, they are trying to walk that letter back.

I'd call Comcast "a bunch of evil swine", except that I'd probably be sued for defamation by the Evil Swine Association.

    Don't you just hate it when the Evil Swine Association sues?
