Jann Arden.
If you’re a Troublesome Mobile — a.k.a., Freedom Mobile — customer, you’ll be surprised at this too! I’m a Troublesome Mobile customer, and I heard nothing in advance about Jann Arden‘s opening concert at the new Troublesome Mobile Arch in Vancouver last night, 5 June 2026. My dentist went. I guess he’s more in the loop than I am, although one would assume that, as a Troublesome Mobile client, I’d have been given access to some discounted tickets, but I suppose I’m out of touch, because why would a company provide any inside deals to their customers? I mean, why would I get such an idea, except via the incessant advertising by companies telling us how wonderful it is to be their client? And yet, in the things that count, that I’ll remember a week, a month or even a year from now, they fall down and provide us nothing, absolutely nothing.
It’s no wonder that I consider their advertising/marketing to be nothing but lies. They just advertise what they are already expected to provide as if it’s better than the old bubble gum that you’re used to, because their bubble gum is somehow better, and you’re just expected to know that. And if you don’t, you’re the one that’s stupid. Why are you so dumb? Why are we all so dumb? I guess there’s a segment of the market that does indeed believe every word out of their mouths, and they count on those few people to keep up the hype.
While I just continue to exist and pay my bills. Yup, there’s no reward for that other than the companies I deal with continuing to provide my basic service, and I have to remain jealous of those customers who do get the preferred treatment. It’s my own fault for not gobbling up their hype.
