I sent them an e-mail about it, but I doubt anything will come of it... I was really only eligible for the ipod and they have this sneaky clause that says "until said date or until supplies run out..." which they don't tell you about when you sign up. And I found this "I hate telus" website and there's other people got fucked same way as me with no luck.

As they say... "up shit creek without a paddle".

Of course, there's a difference between squeaky wheel and whiny brat. Case in point, our gracious PM is taking his ball and going home:

Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he'll no longer give news conferences for the national media, after a dispute led a number of journalists to walk away from an event when he refused to take their questions.
...

Since becoming prime minister in January, Harper has had a testy relationship with the national media in Ottawa. His staff has tried to manage news conferences by saying they will decide which reporters get to ask questions.

The press gallery has refused to play by those rules. "We can't accept that the Prime Minister's Office would decide who gets to ask questions," Yves Malo, a TVA reporter and president of the press gallery, told CP on Tuesday. "Does that mean that when there's a crisis they'll only call upon journalists they expect softball questions from?"

On Tuesday about two dozen Ottawa reporters walked out on a Harper event when he refused to take their questions.

That led Harper to say that from now on he will speak only to local media.

Yeah, I mean you hate to be the squeaky wheel, but there's nowhere it's written that you have to just take that shit.

(I wonder how many hits I'm going to see now coming from Google searches for "Fuck You Telus"...)

dude, make a formal complaint. raise a fuss. they normally cave on that sort of shit. but if you let it slide they won't give you anything. if you signed up for it in feburary you should be entitled to at least one of the promotional items

I got royally fucked by Telus. It was a pain in the ass to even set up internet service with them in the first place, but this takes the cake. I was supposed to get a free ipod with the purchase of a 3-year plan, so I was like, "sweet". I signed up for the plan on about february 28th or so... but I didn't get the service until like march. Plus, you have to wait 1 week after your service is set-up before you can apply for the free ipod. But a week into March, a new promotion had already started, one which would entitle me to a free 19" flatscreen monitor as opposed to the ipod. Obviously, I assumed since the ipod promotion was over I'd be eligible for the free LCD monitor instead. I assumed wrong; I apparently get neither an ipod nor an LCD monitor. FUCK YOU TELUS. THANKS FOR NOTHING.

fo'rillz

they needed that win tonight. if it went to overtime i think they would have lost, and that would have shook the team. sure they gave up the lead, but when it came down to it, the team came together and kept it clutch. i'd rather see them come close to fucking up then have them get all cocky about going into the next round

well, that was a photo-finish. But I guess it gets the job done.

WOO, PISS-ON-ME DOES IT AGAIN!

WHAT THE FUCK!?? 4-3!? WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON!??
