A bad merger by any other name
AOL Time Warner plans to drop the AOL from the name. AOL is basically getting its karmic smackdown for sending all those mailings with plastic CDs offering 600 free hours (for the first month only, while capturing your credit card information so you would at least be charged for one month's worth of services which AOL banked could be turned into many months worth of service because you, yes you, America, were too lazy or stupid (in the mind of AOL) to research a new provider, that is until your cable company dangled the carrot of high-speed connections and no need to tie up your phone line and one convenient bill. Can't swallow that AOL, can you!) knowing full well that a month may have up to only 744 hours (and if you are not sleeping 144 hours in a 31 day month, then, pal you need to see your doctor about insomnia). The long and short of it is that, like the Albatross to the Ancient Mariner, AOL seemed like a great prize to Time-Warner, then it became the reminder of all their mistakes. Thank god (strictly speaking the non-denominational creator who more than likely doesn't give a shit about this at all) for digital cable.
