The Blog Post That Keeps On Giving

February 13, 2006 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

About a year ago I dropped Sprint as my mobile phone provider. I was very pissed-off with the way they had treated me, and I posted a message expressing my hurt feelings. Here’s how it begins:

I’ve fucking had it up to my fucking ears with those fucking fuckers at Sprint! Fuckers through and through! Fucker-coated fuckers with fucker centers! Fuck! I fucking hate those fuckers!

I’m happy to report that I’ve calmed down about it since then. However, my pain and rage apparently resonate with other Sprint customers, because every few months somebody finds that message and leaves a comment.

Almost every comment added to an old posting turns out to be spam of some kind, because spammers assume bloggers don’t maintain the old stuff. So the first time it happened I nearly deleted the comment before realizing it was a fellow sufferer under the Sprint boot.

The most recent comment was posted this last Saturday:

You guys just saved my life! I am so pissed off and needed venting bad. I was about to jump from my building out of pure frustration. It all started this afternoon trying to figure out why sprint, aka FUCKERS, sent my account to a damn collection agency when my compulsive wife paid the fucking bill 10 days prior to the due date every month!!!! I cancelled home service with them and that must have pissed them off. I spent 2 hours on the phone today spoke to several nice people from India, sometimes more than one person at a time I kid you not!!! Long story short I am to call back Monday :) What a way to spend one’s weekend. The BBB don’t even phase this giant asshole called sprint, they have no concept what customer service is nor do they know the defintion of business ethics. I hope they go fucking bankrupt, I will laugh my ass off. Remember what goes around comes around, no matter how big you are.

I hear you brother!

I decided to look into how people were finding that page. It took me about 10 seconds to figure it out: I’ve got the number two result on Google for the search phrase fucking sprint. I’m also number two for sprint fuckers.

It gets better, if you put the phrases in quotes—telling Google to search for the phrase, not just the words—then I’m number one for both “fucking sprint” and “sprint fuckers”.

I think I’m starting to make my mark in this world.

(By the way, the Google ads for these searches yield a bunch of Sprint resellers, an eBay search page for people selling F U C K, and an adult web site that’s really just a bunch of links to other adult web sites.)
