Oh my God. You are my new hero, Steven.

I HATE Sprint. And I'm stuck with them for another year and a half.

Having someone else protest/picket for you is almost as lazy as purchasing mini Oreos. It's just sad.

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

BEST!

This is awesome.

I so want to borrow you to call MDM. They won't cancel my cable and it's been over a month. I'm highly tempted to call them every half an hour until something gets done.

Good luck with the Sprint venture and anything else that comes up.

He delivers a sandwich AND conducts a consumer protest?

That makes me miss Kosmo.com.

Excellent, look for my **The Stranger Eats Shit** poster on Broadway, aside from the slog techie guys who make this very heads up pronouncement possible. Eh, bad press is good press, right? hmmm, watch out, i'll get creative on yo asses

There have been so many times that I have wanted to protest an individual store, but who has the time!!! I want a public intern in Chicago!

A. I am coming to love the Public Intern. This series is totally cracking me up. Wonderful. I am going to have to think of some way that I can utilize the Public Intern.

B. The Sprint manager was actually stupid enough to come out and tell you you couldn't hold a sign in front of his store? For real? Just how stupid are Sprint managers, anyway? I'd have laughed in his face and told him to fuck off. A sidewalk is a public space, and absolutely 100% subject to constitutionally protected free speech rights. What a douche bag.

Oh my... I'd have been blushing so bad doing that. Much praise Public Intern. :D

Also, more props for the style choices. *nods*

i need you to go to the university of seattle law school and ask them why i didn't get into school there! they'll probably just tell you that my high LSAT score and shitty GPA shows that i'm lazy, but i'd like to hear it myself.

Posted by konstantConsumer | August 22, 2007 3:44 PM

Konstant, maybe you didn't get in because you couldn't get the name of the school right. Lord knows that was what happened to me when I applied to Washington University, I wanted to be a Husky so bad!!!

Damn it, I'm so confused and perturbed and ... conflicted.

You see, I keep this fancy rating system (well, not that fancy, for it's only in my head and there really is no criteria other than when I enjoy posts) for my favorite Sloggers.

It's been Kelly O for awhile now (who passed up Ari Spool after a short stint at the top).

But now Public Intern is really getting to me. Well, really, from the start I appreciated this idea. Perhaps it's Dan Savage who should be my favorite for having concocted such a wild idea?

Yet this conflict persists. While Public Intern is so damn fabuluous, Kelly O is equally so. And Public Intern has no breasts. Nor Kelly O's sexy, gravely voice nor her penchant for fantastic "How Was It?" interviews.

I am, indeed, quite conflicted.

Public Intern - you're great. Keep up the good work for all us Sams out there.

hey wow. sounds like something i'd see on comedy central.

@4 - I'm totally dealing with the same crap. We spiked MDM's asses awhile back for shoddy services and now are dealing with trying to convince them that we did indeed give them back the receiver. Bastards. I've got a receipt! I faxed it to them!

I think Konstant mailed his LSATS to Seattle U. and his GPA to the UW. That would explain (part of) his not getting into the "university of seattle law school".

I heart the public intern! I'd invite you to come clean my room, but I'm too embarrassed to show anyone outside my family what a slob I have become! Keep up the good work public intern. You are my new hero! Yah!

Is that intern on J-date? He's cute? What about the science teacher at Pacific Center? I'm new to town and looking to meet some nice Jewish boys, are these two available?

You guys wasted all your energy just for 30 dollars? WOW! How desperate are you? Everyone has there own hatred for different companies. Shit I hate Cingular because they gave me a free bluetooth along with purchasing a phone but they end up charging it onto my account. I went to the manager there the next day to clear things up. Simple as that! So who cares if the manager never calls you back within' a week. What are you going to do .. save the world? ahaha. You're just going to waste more energy when you could be doing something else better. Sam needs to go to the Sprint store & talk to the manager. What is protesting going to anyway? And you're no hero either!

I'm reading this from the UK and intend on doing something very silimar with The Carphone Warehouse (a shoddy company that refuses to accept that 12 months from last September would be this September and are trying to force me to stay on their contract until October!)

I may give out leaflets instead of holding a banner.
