Comcast can’t seem to do anything right. Between disrupting user traffic, sleeping on the job, and angering Congress, Comcast is getting one black eye after another. They should take some pointers from Woot, who recently recovered from an inventory glitch beautifully.

Excerpts from an email to customers:

A decision has been made without you on your recent Brown Zune order from the 22nd. I will be transparent about this-I can only hope it meets your approval.

Yesterday, as our warehouse wrapped up the Zune shipments, an unexpected shortage of brown Zunes was reported…
We made the emergency call to substitute BLACK Zunes to complete your shipment.

We have included a bonus: A Microsoft Zune Travel Pack has been shipped with your order…These are new retail boxed and carry a Microsoft MSRP of $99.99.

Not only is Woot making good on orders at their expense, they are also including a gift worth $100. Way to turn lemons into lemonade, Woot — I have a feeling you just gained some customers for life.

I once saw a woman driving her Hummer while wearing huge sunglasses, drinking a 64 ounce Big Gulp and eating a foot-long hot dog. Well, not really, but it seams probable given our preoccupation with all things enormous.

This even appears to be influencing something near and dear to my heart: gizmos and gadgets. So I submit to you, gentle readers, three items of ridiculous proportions spotted at my local shopping complex:

An Enormous Remote Control - STILL nothing good on

A Giant Calculator - can only add to 999,999,999 though

A huge Swiss Army Style Grilling Tool - if this fits in your pocket you need to grill less
