Comcast Is Simply Following the Truth in Advertising Laws
For today’s “Purdue Joke of the Day” (although this is equally a shot at the equally putrid Minnesota Gophers), thank the good people over at SB Nation.
Comcast guide screens for football games can be an endless source of entertainment, usually for reasons that are purely accidental — typos, incorrect stats or whatever else. Not so sure this wasn’t completely intentional. In fact, this had to have been intentional: The program information for Minnesota-Purdue isn’t so much an advertisement for the game as it is a giant warning to stay away at all costs.
Comcast aren’t the only people warning you to stay away from this punt-fest. Even the folks at the Purdue athletic department are trying to hide this game. What other major universities do you know that schedule home games during fall break? The ones that do are admitting they have dates on their schedule for which they couldn’t give away tickets if they printed them on Christina Hendricks’ ample cleavage.
Somehow, still not helping.
Actually, it might me somewhat responsible on the part of the Purdue athletic department. By ensuring the student section at Ross-Ade will be virtually empty, there’s less of a chance that Purdue’s performance will induce a wave of Purdue Puke down Northwestern Avenue.
Morgan Burke, the citizens of West Lafayette thank you.

Comcast still lists Melina Kanakaredes as a star on CSI NY’s On Demand info even though she hasn’t been on the show in two years. Sela Ward should be listed in her place. I have no idea if either woman has ties to Purdue or Minnesota…or Christina Hendricks for that matter. All this info I am providing here is way more intelligent and interesting than that screen dump of goo you captured “promoting” the football game. I am sending my resume to Comcast now…there surely is a need here…

Off to a crappy start with Comcast, but hopefully I find some gold like this on there in the near future to make up for it!

Sela Ward “Roll Tide”…I don’t know what archive you had that filed in but that was a fun read. Melina a Buckeye. Wonder if she has “tats?” I will use you as a reference if you promise to let me serve as one if the opportunity presents itself.
