So. I cannot even write words to express my frustration, but I tried. I tried to at least send them an email and let them know that I was angry. Why? I know it will do absolutely nothing. I know that all anybody cares about is money. None of the local news agencies give a rats ass about Central Floridians. They certainly don't care about inundating us with advertisements from a company that should be investigated for fraud. I know that there is absolutely nothing I can do about this. I know there are bigger fights to fight. But I just couldn't sit here and say nothing.....
I don't know if its the concept that we have zero choice in our Energy company so advertising seems extremely pointless, or that OUC is jumping on the whole GREEN BANDWAGON and trying to suck us onto their website so they can get some money from hits or scam Floridians into spending more money on shit they don't need but will be made to believe they do. Either way.....here it is, it is animated and fancy and I know they paid a ton just for the advertisement to get created not to mention the amount of money it cost for them to advertise with WFTV. If you want to see it yourself, go to wftv and click on the news section. Its at the top....and will expand onto your screen when you first go there.
Dear WFTV -
Nice to know that companies like OUC who just recently decided a 15% (15%!!!!!) price hike was a good idea for Central Floridians, can sit and spend money on worthless advertising. We have no choice in our power company, so why advertise? To teach me on ways that I can save money on my electric bill? I can not believe how ridiculous that is.
How about OUC spends their money thinking up ways to lower the prices for Central Floridians so that we don't have to struggle on a daily basis in order to survive. So that when we are told about a mandatory increase (that we have zero control over), we don't have to shutter at the thought of ever saving a penny to let our children go to College or on a class trip.
Every single other advertisement on your website is a local business or at the very least a company that we have a choice to spend our money at. It's a sad day when the place you go to for community information and news is sitting around lining their pockets by a company that is pretty much scamming Central Floridians.
I'm positive you aren't the only news station and/or website that supports companies that do absolutely nothing to attempt to relieve the stress on Americans, but instead just create more stress. But I just don't get it. Why? Did you really need the extra money? Was it really necessary for you to throw an ad on your news site that I know cost a ton of money to create, when every other business on East Colonial is shutting down, nobody can find a job in Central Florida and we are already up to our ears trying to just pay our bills and survive?
I know you need to pay your bills, but have a little dignity and pride. We are the reason you are around.

Someone in Central Florida who actually gives a shit about Central Floridians needs to get into office. I will run their entire campaign and I will do it for free. I do not have the balls, the experience, the education or the desire to just do it myself, but if someone stands up and proves to me that they are getting involved because THEY CARE ABOUT CENTRAL FLORIDIANS I will devote all of my free time into creating the sweetest fucking campaign anyone has ever seen before in their lives.
Im angry.
Peace.
