Get rid of HBO

After seeing what happened to Rush with the Left and how the media, especially HBO treats women, I decided to do something about it.

I got rid of my Time Warner Cable and got AT&T U-Verse package. It saves me over $100.00 per month and I don't have to deal with HBO and their hatred of women.

Today I will write a letter to the editor of my local paper telling them what I did and why. If we can all do the same thing, maybe, just maybe it will make a difference.

I saved $100 per month by switching from Time Warner Cable to AT&T U-Verse.

[Perdogg]

I would get rid of HBO if it weren’t for “Game of Thrones” and “Boardwalk Empire”.

[Durus]

Ya...and those are about the only reasons I keep it.

I am saving countless amounts of money because I dumped TV altogether back in 1997. I expected certain changes, but the one I didn’t see coming was the almost complete removal of my family from consumerism now that we are not inundated by ads for stuff we don’t need.

Judging by the things they advertise in the subway, they seem like a petty, opportunistic bunch of self-infatuated frat-boys. Nobody would ever mistake it for art, that’s for sure.

The other day I was reading and for some stupid reason had not turned the Idiot Box off. It was on the cartoon channel where the grands had been watching. A cartoon went off. Commercials came on. And stayed on and stayed on and stayed on and stayed on. When I started counting, they stayed on for SEVEN more minutes. Those commercials had to have stayed on for 9 to 10 minutes!!! Just slamming children with YOU GOTTA HAVE THIS, YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT, TELL MOMMY AND DADDY TO GET YOU THIS. Boom, boom, boom, just slamming them.

What's the connection between switching to ATT and HBO? U-Verse also carries HBO as a premium package just like Time Warner, don't they? You can opt out of premiums with either carrier.

Don’t have and will never have HBO; just not my kind of entertainment.

[cuban leaf]

I use the comparison of the “How to boil a frog alive”. We see ourselves as “frogs” that got out of the water in 1997 and afterward realized it was already really hot. Now we dip our toe in when in public places or at relatives. It is absolutely boiling, now.

I think it, coupled with the infestation of internet porn, will be the undoing of western civilization. I think it already IS the undoing...

[LoveUSA]

Yeah, this is the problem.

Hollywood has us willingly dangling on a leash because we think we get something in return. I struggle with this every day. By evening I'm so mentally exhausted that all I want to do is be entertained by The Office, The Big Bang Theory, Uncoded, and the like. Simple shows, but they still pay the bills for the Hollywood elite.

The moment we decide to give up television and movies is the day that the left loses its megaphone.

[treetopsandroofs]

It’s been my experience as a cable TV user that it’s hard NOT to get HBO.

That being said, I don’t pay much attention to them.

Please pardon my ignorance, but what’s HBO’s latest offense against women?

[edcoil]

“HBO and their hatred of women.”

What did I miss? Where have they shown a hatred of women?

[NRA1995]

My Comcast package doesn’t include HBO but I get plenty of other movie channels that I like better. As to HBO’s hatred of women, do a Google search on Bill Maher; they run his show.

[TheRake]

“GET RID OF HBO”

And BHO as well!

[EQAndyBuzz]

““HBO and their hatred of women.””

I think that Maher’s comments indicate HBO’s hatred of women since they did nothing to stop Maher.

If Limbaughs comment about Fluke indicates his hatred of women, there is no reason why Maher’s comments and HBO turning a blind eye towards it is anything different.

The only way to beat the left is to bankrupt them.

"What did I miss? Where have they shown a hatred of women?"

Not HBO per se, but Bill Maher's continual, vile attacks on conservative women.

Maher's big defense is that he "doesn't have sponsors"; but in reality, he does have sponsors...everyone who subscribes to the premium channel is his sponsor.

So, Rush is villified for one offense, Maher does it routinely...the left goes after Rush's sponsors, and Maher skates free.

So I agree - CANCEL HBO - and let them know why you are cancelling it. You don't have to cancel the entire cable or satellite service, just HBO.

Cocky bill maher thinks he's comfortable and protected hiding within the HBO compound, but they need money to operate too, and they have to pay Maher so he can give obama a million bucks.

Cancel HBO today, there are other premium movie channels out there.

Thanks, here’s some further discussion of that:

Comcast gave me free HBO for six months, but I cancelled it after two. I couldn't stand the constant gay agenda bombardment...even at "free", it was a poor value.

I mean, it was just so damn GAY!

I got rid of premium channels years ago.
