Hey Guys...we're holding an innovation contest and would love to see
some slick ruby apps entered. here's the info:

Apps for Democracy will feature 60 cash prizes from $2000 to $100
dollars for a total of $20,000 in prizes. Developers and designers
will compete by creating web applications, widgets, Google Maps mash-
ups, iPhone apps, Facebook apps, and other digital utilities that
visualize DC.gov’s Data Catalog (http://data.o...), which
provides real-time data from multiple agencies to citizens — a
catalyst ensuring agencies operate as more responsive, better
performing organizations.

I don't live in Chicago, I live near Rockford. Thus, by proxy, you're
the fucking idiot, right? That site directs people to their regionally
available channels--is any of this getting through? I don't know what
WGN expects local people to do to watch Salem, maybe they have it
available on the website after it airs on WGN America. I do think there
is some percentage of Comcast area that don't have WGNAm, but I don't
know what that percentage is. Since you've made an ass of yourself thus
far, perhaps you can compile a list as your mea culpa. Or excuse
yourself as a scum sucking troll, whatever.

There's probably a different deal arranged in Canada. Interestingly,
though, this show is actually being produced by WGNAm, a first for them.
Business must be good.

This would appear to answer your question:

Are you familiar with Google?

First time you've mentioned it. When I looked at the site, it assumed I
was on a head end in the western suburbs for whatever reason.

>Thus, by proxy, you're the fucking idiot, right?

My original statement referred to "The ads here in Chicago"; you chose
not to read it for comprehension.

>That site directs people to their regionally available channels--is any
>of this getting through?

Ok, douchebag: Checking this site and other sites and Comcast's own
corporate site using various ZIP Codes, I haven't found WGN America on
Comcast. At no point did I state that no where in the country did Comcast
offer WGN America.
