Re: So you missed VERIZON at #3 there?

said by Jerm See Profile :

I can just imagine it now:

"Hello Welcome to Verizon Customer Service how may I help you?"

"My PeeCee isn't able to connect to teh intarweb, I see a page that says I have a been disconnected due to a trojan, spyware, or other botnet activity ... WHY DOESNT MY INTERNET WORK - TURN IT BACK ON PLEASE!"

"Well Sir your port has been disabled because you've been sending out spam and your computer appears to have been compromised in a zombie botnet attack"

"I dun care what you say, I have no zombies here, they're only in Movies - I just want checked my d*mn email now TURN ME BACK ON NOW!"

... (rinse, repeat 10x)

Finally the user gives up - "Im going to Comcast, forget you Verizon, my zombie PC is invincible!"

His avatar probably also describes what some ISP
abuse departments would like to do with their clueless,
click on everything, got-brains?, spam spewing zombie
customers, or at least their machines.

Someone in one of the forums mentioned that if human
stupidity were a fuel that could be burned, this planet
would shine brighter than the Sun.
