Check out this blog, WTFComcast, which is dedicated to posting snapshots of movie descriptions from Comcast’s on-demand service. Except, the movie descriptions are clearly written by someone with:
a) a personality
b) a sense of humour
So it’s downright weird that it would come through on a corporate screen like this:
Part of the attraction here (aside from the humourous movie descriptions) is the sense of wonder I get. Like watching Philippe Petit dance across a dangerous tightrope, you’re rooting for this anonymous reviewer, but you just can’t help but dread it ending badly.
And if/when this blog ever goes silent, you’ll be left with an unanswered question: was the reviewer reprimanded? fired? Or did corporate culture finally grind all sense of personality away, leaving just an office drone.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
What corporate genius thought it would be a good idea to use the initials WTF in front of the company name? Seriously.
I think the blog WTFComcast is spoofing the Comcast name by asking, WTF? with all the descriptions. But who knows … maybe they just took it over from the Wisconsin Tourism Federation.
Ha! Serves me right for posting before my usual 3 cups of caffeine. Didn’t catch the spoof thing. My cynicism for corporate shills remains firmly in place, however.
