We have dish at out retirement community.
It’s dogshit. Techs tell me their software has been taking a shit lately (even more than usual)
Curious how this will impact the situation here.
Lmao.
DISH bought the town of Clark, TX’s name. Paid for 10 years of cable for all 437 residents in exchange for… Map advertising. Clark TX became, and still is, “DISH, TX” (yes, all caps).
Not only did they lose their free cable in 2015, but now they’re named after a company that was never good enough to last the test of time.
It’d be like going to work at NYNEX stadium or something equally absurd.
Love it.
I don’t know, if I already lived in a tiny town that nobody ever heard of I wouldn’t mind getting 10 years of free cable in exchange for living in the exact small town that is now called DISH. Who the hell even cares at that point?
And it isn’t like they changed the name of a city/town with a rich history steeped in tradition. The town of Clark was only incorporated in the year 2000 by a guy named Clark and only had 201 inhabitants at the time.
I don’t care much about this particular case, but I don’t want this to be the norm, either. I don’t want to have to drive from McDonalds, OH to Walmart, KY on the I-71 brought to you by Microsoft.
If you don’t care then you win. I’ll still make fun of you from across the internet every time I see the name.
That has to be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard of. On both sides…
Well, there’s still Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico.

Yea but that one is actually cool.
Egad - they didn’t even get free TV out of it or something.
But at least that has a sort of “old west” kinda name to it. Like “death valley” or “last chance saloon”.
I’d heard the name, but just assumed it was one of those weird old west names. I had no idea it was named after a radio show!
Fuck, I’ll give 'em $2.
Ok, then you’re only $1,999,999,998 in debt.
Yeah, but imagine owning something.
Raises paddle
$2.50!
3.0€!
I might not win in life gloriously, might as well lose amazingly
Now satellite TV will become even more unaffordable.
I’d buy that for a dollar!
Robo wants an Oreo
Honestly thought that was a typo
Ya got ripped off
