E-mail Comcast

[Lee]

Here's the deal....

I've spent the better part of the last 36 hours studying this whole buyout thing, and I have decided that I am against it.
Three reasons why:
Disney is moving in the right direction. The stutio is doing great, the park attendance is way up, and ABC is inching up. Sure, we lost Pixar, but I honest believe that was a political move on Jobs' part. If Eisner leaves, Jobs will warm back up to Disney.

Reason two is that I just find it unsettling that Disney, and american icom, a company loved by people of all ages, the world over, could become just another piece of another corporation. Walt would never go for it. Disney is Disney. Period.

Third, I honestly don't believe that Comcast will respect the traditions, and magic of Disney. They say they aren't planning to sell off any parts, but you never know.

Anyway, I have decided to stand against it.
I encourage any of you, shareholders or not, if you share my feelings, to e-mail Comcast at the address below and express yourself. Tell them as a Disney fan you are against it. Tell them to find another company to buy. Tell them to bug off. I did.

corporate_communications@comcast.com
(I couldn't find Brian Roberts' personal e-mail, but if anyone has it, that would be a better address.

Writing now.

Disney needs to stay "Disney" (a meaning versus just another corporation). I mean, tossing the name around with Comcast is SO degrading.

(Not because it is Comcast, but because Disney is actually a FEELING. Is there a several 10,000 member Comcast Fan Forums and websites?)

while doing a search for the standard comcast corporate email template, I came across this..

kinda funny

I'm with you all the way. Those damn monopolistic cable companies (is monopolistic a word?) Though I am not a supporter of Michael Eisner, he still has a better vision than a power hungry, cheap, not a part of the Disney family company. Hey wait a sec...Ahhhh who cares! At least without Comcast we have a CHANCE of getting Eisner out.

i've found 2 samples, so judging by them, and other corporate emails, it could be one of these:

brian_roberts@cmcsk.com
brian_l_roberts@cmcsk.com
roberts_brian@cmcsk.com
roberts_brianl@cmcsk.com
roberts_brian_l@cmcsk.com

brian_roberts@comcast.com
brian_l_roberts@comcast.com
roberts_brian@comcast.com
roberts_brianl@comcast.com
roberts_brian_l@comcast.com

brian_roberts@comcast.net
brian_l_roberts@comcast.net
roberts_brian@comcast.net
roberts_brianl@comcast.net
roberts_brian_l@comcast.net


good luck.. hopefully one of them is right

Send to all addresses and delete the returned mails. :lookaroun

 

[Lee]

Let me know which one works.

A couple thousand e-mails would get his attention.

 

[mkt]

I just researched some more, and was able to narrow it down to one of these 3

brian_roberts@comcast.com
brian_l_roberts@comcast.com
brianl_roberts@comcast.com

How about attacking Comcast where it hurts....like canceling their cable service....kinda extreme but...would definetely get their attention.....

:lookaroun

 

[wdwcrazy]

I think a boycott comcast would be a lot better. Anyone who uses their cable televison or internet services cancel your service! Also don't buy tickets to Philadelphia Sixers (they stink anyway) or flyers games

 

[General Grizz]

I have no "affiliation" with Comcast, and I never intend to.

Nice avatar, wdwcrazy. :sohappy:

 

[DMC-12]

Jeeze... now you guys are barraging them with e-mails :brick: :brick:

Man, I hope they have there spam filters set on high. :lol: :lookaroun

Hmm... I personally think that snail mail might be better... like, actual letters... I'm going to type up one to send, if I can find an address...

I'm against it, but it seems that both Roy and Eisner are trying to use it to their advantage...

Also, its not a coincidence that the meeting is so close- Disney stocks have already rose...

 

[General Grizz]

Nice poll: http://discussions.wsj.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=wsjvoices&tid=3100&vote=3&submit=Vote

I agree with the 54% majority out of the 5255.

In the infamous words of Moe Green from the Godfather..."you don't buy me out....I buy you out." Of course, he got whacked.

Nevertheless, I agree with the analysis. Its important for Disney to be the top of the food chain in order to preserve corporate identity and that's why I would NOT like this acquisition to proceed.

I'd have alot more respect for the fellows who are running "savedisney.com" if they'd come out and say the things you are saying but it looks to me like they are trying to keep "their" options open, which causes me to doubt their sincerity.

Just my opinion but until proven otherwise, I think that savedisney.com is more about "Roy and Stanley" then it is about Walt and customers.

"Welcome to Comcast's Walt Disney World Resort" :fork:

Last time I checked a company $11 billion in debt and a CEO not worth crap is not a company heading in the right direciton

 

[LoriMistress]

I emailed them and flat out told them to not buy Disney or else I will quit using Comcast and any thing related to Disney. Extreme, but to the point.

 

[lebernadin]

Comcast isn't going to withdraw their offer because Disney fans don't want their hostile takeover to succeed. You'd be better served sending emails to those concerned at Disney to show how un-welcomed this would be. If you're Comcast and you're trying to create the largest media base the only thing that is going to stand in your way is Disney's board/investors and the law.
