Re: Jason Laszlo (Bell spokesman)'s real thoughts on this issue

His profile is still publically accessible. Those of you who doubt the authenticity of the screen shot, just search Jason Laszlo on facebook and look for yourself. Feel free to leave him a Wall post too : ) One journalist already has.

I have to say, I didn't actually go to the Facebook site - I just looked at the image. It just seemed so over the top that it had to be fake. If it IS real, then we know what kind of person we're dealing with.
I think it is real, I'm on Facebook and the profile has existed since sometime before January 7th.

I just searched for his profile, found it, but had to go get a co-worker to log in (I don't keep a Facebook account). By the time she did, he had blocked his profile, and it was no longer searchable.

I suspect it IS his profile. Nice...

I kind of (almost) feel for him though. While it is a blatant error to post anything that can be inferred as condescending about his work on a public medium, ultimately, we want bell to undo changes they made that he had nothing to do with... and he may well find his job in jeopardy over this...

You can still view his profile, I suspect your coworker isn't in the Toronto, ON network.

Who gives a fuq how you feel or anyone else feels for him.

If thats really him, then with the position he holds he should know better. and if it is him he's a dim witted moron for writing what he did and deserves everything that comes with it.

How ironic it would be if his employer he is defending axes him over this ... hahaha would be a cruel world indeed.

Obviously we probably are taking his quote out of context ... maybe it deals with another issue totally unrelating to this. Would hate to tear him apart from his bread and butter over something that he really didn't have a say in. Sweeney and all those other cronies are targets, this guy is an over-achieving liar but not the guy who owns this mess.

I don't know, but with those 2 other name changes just minutes before the final one with the lemmings comment, i'm pretty sure they all have to do with the same ting. Or maybe he's an over achieving liar with multiple personalities..

Oh come on. Is this even the guy's real page?
Yep, it's him! Have a look, it's wide open to the public: »www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=716869056

You can send him a message and become is friend, easy as can be.

What a gift! Thank you Jason Laszlo, and hope you have a good Monday morning back at the office!

So if you google Jason Laszlo now, you get the bell "contact us" page, obviously, then you get a hit for some website about a bloor street association (whatever) and guess what's third...

Will this have any impact on any potential changes, decision reversals, policy changes?

The thread title could have said "throttling" instead of "this issue" to make it more effective in the Google search result for someone who hasn't read this thread.

Indeed! It's too bad the OP is anon and we likely can't get that first post altered. What are the ods the mods are gonna help us out? hehe

*clicks* hey mods

Reason for moderation: Can we get the subject line changed in the first post so that we get more hits and hits on people that aren't looking for throttling posts on google? kthx

I thought he'd do that, just to make sure I did a series of 12 screenshots that covers his entire profile, top to bottom.

Too late for Laszlo to be doing damage control after his page was already captured and posted and the media notified. Given his position with Bell and the issue at hand he was more than a doofus to post a remark like that about the journalists, he's a complete idiot. I think Bell will have to fire him in an effort to save face with the media.

Anyone also notice that he has previously had his status set to "feeling throttle-icious"?? What a pinhead.

meh. Who cares about his personal views on the issue.

Just because Bell tells me something, makes me follow a policy, etc. doesn't mean that I believe in it. I just do it because it's my job.
