WTF COMCAST? You run an emergency test on Fox during the world series and we miss a 3 run HR! You're literally f'ing terrible. @comcastcares

Comcast just ran an emergency broadcast test during the World Series and viewers missed a KC Royals home run.

Really @comcast? An emergency broadcast test during the most important part of a World Series game? You're just trying to piss people off.

PLEASE @comcast explain the emergency alert system test in DC in the middle of #WorldSeriesGame2 #unforgivable

Unforgivable, indeed. Why do you hate America, Comcast?
