A man in New Zealand received a huge bill from Telecom, with an added insult. (via sensible erection)

ummm, a link to sensible erection probably needs to come with a 'not safe for work' type disclaimer eh...

mrbalihai: there aren't any javascript popups at either the nzherald or sensible erection (i'm the webmaster of one of them, and i just asked the webmaster of the other). i'd check for adware on your system if i were you.

I heard on the news this morning that "heads have already rolled". I want to know if this was a harmless prank played on the wrong person or a harmless prank played on someone with no sense of humour. My flatmates and I used to get similar stuff on our bank statements - our automatic rent payments went through as stuff like "Subscription to Wide Open Beaver Magazine". it happened to everyone in the flat except the guy who worked there and set up the automatic payments.

"titboy"? "sensible erection"? Have I logged onto pr0nfilter by mistake? wheeee! i'd check for adware on your system if i were you No, it wasn't adware. I clicked on one of the site sponsor's links by mistake. Normally, I have javascript off to prevent such an eventuality, but not today... Anyway, I forwarded that Telecom link to one of my company's managers down in Wellington. He's an arrogant bastard. I figured he'd appreciate it.

sawks: dude, the word "erection" right there in the title should have tipped you off. <g>

dont worry 'bout me, i'm very familiar with the site :) figured it would be polite to make a note for anyone who wasn't, just in case they thought it was a weblog for bridge engineers

"Three years ago he made a complaint because of a problem with a Yellow Pages advertisement for his company, but that was settled last year. " Only two years to fix a problem? Sounds like he gets the same type of service I get from my telco.

the same telco that sent this chap such a charming note had my phone disconnected a few months ago, because i hadn't paid a bill they'd specifically told me not to pay three months running. calling them complete fucking wankers would be being overly generous.
