This morning, Rogers never showed for an appointment to fix our cable. Full details over on SharkBoy.ca<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While we were waiting, SharkBoy calls me over to see that his website wasn’t coming up. After a few manual tries, it worked. But not after seeing a couple Rogers\/Yahoo search page result (none of which had his site listed…)<\/p>\n

Today, Torontoist reports that this is a new feature<\/a>! So Helpful! You don’t need to be told you’ve typed a URL in wrong from the server you were trying to reach, no. You need to see shitty ads and crap search results! <\/p>\n

Thankfully Rogers subscribers can turn it off after jumping through a hoop or two:<\/p>\n

One: type in this.sux.extremely<\/a> into your browser. Just like that. Ta da! Rogers search page:
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Two: Scroll down. You’ll see a little “What. The. Fuck. Is this?!” text link at the bottom. Click it:
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Three: The next page, you’ll find another text link to turn it off:
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

The next error you get will be directed to a Rogers page, but weirdly (ironcially?) it displays an IE style error page with broken images. Funny to see on a Firefox browser. Ha. ha. ha.<\/p>\n

Thanks Rogers! Eat diseased razor blades and gimme back my web, YOU STUPID DICKS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
