To Whom It May Concern:

We watched a lot of children’s programming on DISH over the weekend, as you might imagine. We have a four year old who loves the shows on Disney and Nickelodeon and being out of school during really hot weather made watching more of your programming very appealing.

It would seem some political advertisers wanted to catch me watching television with my child. Groups that wanted to scare me with lies. Groups that had no business advertising during children’s programming.

For the record, it was a group claiming health care reform was nothing less than socialism and that the Democratic Party was only pushing for it so they ‘would have more control over my life.’

Also, for the record – I’m not a Democrat. I found it insulting to my intelligence.

I’m also VERY unhappy to see this kind of ad during children’s programming.

If I see anything like it again, I will be contacting the Public Utilities Commission and filing a complaint.

Sincerely,

--

Yeah, me.

Two phone calls and an online chat with DISH already this morning.

I told you I was the con chair for a wee, tiny convention in Claremont back in 1982, right?

I was just old enough to sign contracts, no kidding.

I also told you someone who had attended the convention found me through LinkedIn?

He sent me a couple of pictures from the awards banquet.

Over this past weekend? Went back to the Hermosa Fiesta, where Wii Sports Resort had a booth set up to demonstrate their new product (which we will SERIOUSLY be getting, holy cow it's GREAT) - and a photobooth where they caught kid and me.

Here. Let me show you them.

cut because we care )

And I didn't even have to bathe in the blood of virgins or something. *snickers*

EDIT: For reference, the icon photo is me at 16 years old.
