Brian the Rant Puppet Takes On Ted Rogers

This afternoon there was a piece on Global TV about new higher text messaging rates coming down the pipe from Rogers (and by extension Fido), Bell and Telus. Evidently, the new rates will charge $0.15 per text message — receiving or sending, if you don’t already have a text messaging plan.
But that’s not what interested me most. The second part of the segment went on to talk about Rogers, the iPhone, and how customers are going nuclear over their text messaging rates. It highlighted ruinediphone.ca, the iPhone in Canada blog, and a rather amusing open letter to Ted Rogers featuring a ranting puppet. I liked it. It wasn’t bust-my-gut funny, but it was amusing enough in its delvery that I felt the need to share it. Peep the vid below.

That’s frickin’ insane, especially as my wife somehow wound up getting spam texts. They’re now going to cost her money.
I think I’m going to dump my cellphone. I’m sick of this crap the industry keeps pulling.
