Hey Verizon: You hijack my url, I hijack your customer support

,

If you get Internet from Verizon (as I do) you’ve probably mistyped an URL from time to time and been redirected by Verizon to their “did you mean” spamo site. If you’re like me, this has probably pissed you off.

Well, Dennis Jerz is like me, and over on his Jerz’s Literacy Weblog he’s written an amusing account of how he got rid of the Verizon intruder, and cost Verizon a few dollars for so doing, just to make things fair.

The blog is generally interesting on other topics as well. Check it out.

    Hah. The tech support person didn’t refuse to help or identify herself — she was just opting out.

    Sell a bad product cheap, and then upsell saying, would you like fries or support with that?
