    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.

        You should have taken the Apple iWay instead of Microsoft’s I-71. The ride is much smoother, as long as you accept you can only exit where Apple says you can. And have the “courage” to hold your pee since they removed all the rest stops on the way.

        Seriously kids, don’t vote Republicans if you don’t want every mile of your trip privatized and monetized.

      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.
