Comcast admits its 300GB data cap serves no technical purpose

Nah. It's more like you're girlfriend makes you some cookies, and you're like "awesome". And then your buddy comes over and eats them all. And you're like "what the hell", and she's like "we're sleeping together too". And you're like "damn". And he's like, "and I'm also bisexual and in love with you too." And you're like "well shit." And then you guys get into this weird open relationship, but you're not bisexual, but you go along with it anyway, 'cause your still into your girlfriend. Then one day, the cops bust in, you discover your buddy's been trafficking cocaine, and secretly using you and your girlfriends apartment as storage - and this whole open relationship thing has been a ruse all along for him to have this free storage. But 'cause it's your apartment, you and your girlfriend go to prison for 20 years, your buddy gets off free, denies everything. In prison you learn to be bisexual, and also begin exchanging gay sex for various drugs - become a crazy addict, have a mental breakdown, end up in prison rehab, which turns you on to Jesus. You help many other prisoners discover faith, and turn around their lives. Which earns you a few years off your time - and you've really become a loving, helpful altruistic person. But when you are finally released, you immediately get diagnosed with incurable brain cancer. You also find out your girlfriend got out early, and is now married to your buddy. But she also was pregnant at the time of the arrest - which is proven to be your child - so you now have a 17 year old child (you got out 3 years early!) who you don't know, who also hates you for not being there for him - and your buddy is now basically his step-dad. And you have 2 months to live. Then a Comcast rep stops by your new apartment and gives you an outstanding bill from 17 years ago, which with interest is more than you could ever pay for. But because of your well developed negotiation skills from prison, you exchange the bill payments for sex with the Comcast rep - which surprisingly turns into quite a lovely romantic relationship. The Comcast rep also has a superstar lawyer brother, who ends up helping you prove you were innocent from the cocaine charges - which results in a successful lawsuit against the state - and you end up with enough money to pay the Comcast bill - and give your son enough money to allow him to live comfortably for life. This also motivates the arrest of your buddy, which in turn repairs the relationship with your son - fragments the relationship he has with his mom - which is your revenge in a sense - and you spend your short remaining time with your new Comcast lover, and equal time talking and learning about your son and having a wonderful, albeit short happy life before the cancer takes it's toll and you pass away.

It might not seem like it, but this is a better analogy.
