Problems already?? Maybe WTF means What The Feck? Which in Ireland is a perfectly legitimate word: <a href="http://news.scotsman.com/latestnews/What-the-feck-Ad-gets.4777178.jp" target="_blank">http://news.scotsman.com/latestnews/What-the-feck...</a> Personally I think it's use here is a bit of a gimmick, and will cheapen the perception of the site. Still, a swearword didn't stop FCUK being a runaway success... Leaving all that aside, a very nice idea which i shall follow closely and no doubt contribute to. Whoah! Problems already??

The cost was $34.95 for the premium package, plus $14.95 for additional services and tax. I feel like I have been bamboozled. Conned. Taken to the cleaners. There was no live NFL games on my computer screen. What recourse do I have? How do I fix this? I either want the games or my money back?q I paid $54 and change today because clickbank said this site would provide me live NFL games, just like public and cable broadcasting services.

This world is ruled by people who exploit the poor and working class and the indigenous people of this world. They have and continue to exercise control in the most perverse way the lives of people around the globe.

Did you see those seven words in WTF and can I ask you how is it that three letters that have no real pronunciation become offensive? Are those letters limited to your meaning? Why if you think that how much you think of the government speak that neutralizing people is far more acceptable than saying murdering them. That genocide is just getting rid of insurgents? What is language but a tool to communicate and the failure of people who object to three letters are these the same voices that object to a congressman shouting at the President while speaking liar and to boot the one who is lying is the accuser is that language objectionable? @Bryan & Bill did you ever hear George Carlin seven words you can’t say on TV or radio?

What a strange choice. This is not something you'd want on your screen at work. I agree 100%. What a strange choice. This is not something you'd want on your screen at work.

There are a number of people in this world who would find employment of swear words in general as offensive, demeaning to the English language, and as exemplary of a person lacking vocabulary. For people who choose to keep the English language beautiful and out of the gutter, having "WTF" appear loud and large repeatedly (every time we would choose to use, or connect with, the service) is an unacceptable requirement from your business. I urge you to change this now to a more acceptable name and logo. Let's stay out of the gutter, please. Regards, Bryan I find your choice of name for this to be objectionable.
