Their “brand” is so loathed around here that they travel under the alias of Xfinity these days, LOL.

Maybe I’ll have to sign up with them just so I can cancel service ;-)

I've never seen a firearm or ammo ad on TV.

This sounds like corporate (marketing department) mental masturbation.

That’s just the motivation I need to cancel my last comcast service.

banning "ads showing semi-automatic weapons and guns pointed at people."

"And now back to our regularly scheduled back to back to back Rambo movie marathon"

And they hope to accomplish WHAT with this silly ban?

If they couple it with ending violence and denigration of women on their cable channels, then yes, I would be happy - but they WILL NOT.

When these folks cancel any movie or show that features guns..I’ll take them seriously.

Of course, that would destroy their programming line-up. All they could show would be Leave It To Beaver-athons.

Which might not be too bad.

If I happened to have Comcast (which I do not), I would be cancelling forthwith.

I've seen Henry repeating rifle ads (one is pretty entertaining), but I can't recall any ammo ads (maybe I should be watching another channel.)

Whenever the COMMIIEEcast telemarketers call me, I ask them who they are, they say: “This is Comcast.” My immediate response is: “Oh, you’re that Constitution Hating bunch, wouldn’t do business with you for any reason.”

I get chokes, coughs, stutters, then I lay it on, “Why do your dumba$$ execs have a problem with the 2nd?”

Then I bang down the phone. I KNOW it gets back to corporate.

Any wonder MSNBC gets away with disparaging more than half the Country on a continual basis?

Go satellite.

Will they ban Hollywood movies with weapons. The only thing they’ll have left is gay TV.

Not that anybody needs to advertise ammunition or guns. There’s none to be had right now anyway.

We switched to Verizon FIOS here. Comcast service and equipment is crap.

Comcast was the worst cable service we ever had. Awful!

Their service stank and their programing was terrible. Fortunately, they sold out to Morris Broadband. It is beter now without Comcast "in charge".

Good morning.

The firearms and ammunition manufacturers and retailers don't need to advertise as long as 0bama is president. He is the firearms and ammunition salesman of the century.

Interesting. Comcast (possibly the worst provider on the planet) is going to ban “ads showing semi-automatic weapons and guns pointed at people.” I am guessing but that means < 1% of the advertisers. Outside of the shear pointless hypocritical stupidity in doing this, it costs them nothing. I would be really impressed if they banned all shows with semi-automatic weapons and guns pointed at people as a way of making a statement. It would still be a pointless empty gesture, but at least they would not be hypocrites.
