		<description>Ah, yes -
HATE Ticketmaster as well!  

As for Comcast, it&#039;s a love-hate relationship, because I have moved around so many times and have experienced about all the big cable companies out there.  Comcast is the best of the worst if that makes sense!

Good try, Price.  But when I think Arbonne, the other brand that comes to mind is Amway aka Quixtar.  Need I say more?</description>

		<description>I agree with asdf. The &quot;convenience&quot; of buying online is not worth a 20% premium above the ticket price. Ticketmaster&#039;s &quot;convenience fee&quot; is just a different way of saying &quot;ticket monopoly&quot;. It&#039;s time the Obama Justice Dept did something about this company&#039;s practice of raping consumers.</description>

		<description>PEPSI.  I have LOVED them since a child.  Coke=kerosene.  The only place that I enjoy a Coke is McDonalds, another brand I love.  And Chick-Fil-A is the best chicken sandwich ever.</description>

		<description>I am pretty much attracted to the brand that will save me money, except, it has to be a coca-cola product and NOTHING comes from Wal-Mart.</description>

		<description>Ticketmaster is the one brand I can&#039;t stand.  I don&#039;t attend concerts that go thru them solely because they&#039;re handling the tickets.  I&#039;ll drive 50 miles to a box office to buy in person to avoid them.  I&#039;d actually pay more for a ticket if Ticketmaster didn&#039;t get revenue from it, that would be worth a premium of probaby 50% of the ticket cost.</description>

		<description>I only buy Coca-Cola. Will not buy Pepsi unless I&#039;m dying of thirst and it&#039;s the only option. For bottled water, we buy Deer Park. For paper towels, we buy Bounty. We&#039;re pretty open to many other brands for other products, though.</description>

		<description>I hate Comcast with a passion. I wanted to upgrade my service to digital - I got charged $100 in fees. They even admitted they were fees for flipping a switch.  They get more $ every month, but still Fee Me,  Then they just pulled that even if you pay for digital TV - they will now pull that service from any tv that doesn&#039;t have a box. Hypothetically we&#039;ll get two &quot;free&quot; but I&#039;m sure they&#039;ll come with the monthly &quot;digital fee&quot; they give us. Plus, what if you have more tv&#039;s than Comcast deems acceptable. I have an extra in the guest bedroom - now it won&#039;t get any channels except the networks. I hate this company, they&#039;re horrible - their customer service is 100% dreadful. their pricing is 100% dreadful. But unfortunately they have some exclusive channels that my husband insists we need. So we&#039;re stuck with them.  But I hate them with a passion and go out of my way to talk anyone I can out of using their service!  Booooooo Comcast.</description>

		<description>U-HAUL. All of their trucks advertise &quot;Rent Me for $19.95.
But we all know this is a crock...one can not rent a truck for less than $65 to $80 bucks. If the trucks read, &quot;Rent Me for 8 hours for $100&quot; then I would not have issue.</description>
