Yay!!.....hmm..wait a second..

(addendum: whoa, my tail's on fire!!)

I don't understand the down-votes here. This is exactly what I was thinking.

People are making a stink about Comcast buying NBC, but Google seems to get away with much more and people cheer. If the argument is "sure, but they make great products", that doesn't cut it for me.

Probably because there's no content to the comment? It doesn't even explain which "hmm" is being hmm'd.

No offense, but there are some comments posted here that may take a second or two of interpretation to understand, perhaps making them that much more witty?

Certainly, but few of them are that vague. Something being witty implies hidden content that further thought will reveal. That one, while perhaps inspiring thought along those lines, contains nothing in and of itself.

Besides. Given the yc crowd and their response to monopolistic habits, I'd be willing to bet that something like 90% or more had the same thought. So you can argue that it's not even inspiring.
