I took this on the way home of the Comcast Center at 1701 JFK Blvd in Philly.
Wish I had something better than my iPhone's camera on me. :-P
Comcast ads targeted at the gays for San Francisco Pride. Internet service is obviously versatile and since television puts out, I'm guessing it's a bottom.

Your Comcast High-Speed Internet service has a monthly data usage allowance of 250 gigabytes (GB). If you are wondering whether you are at risk of exceeding this 250GB threshold, you should know that the vast majority - around 99% - of Comcast customers use significantly less than 250GB per month.
You see yours, go to customer.comcast.com/Secure/Home.aspx and click on "Users & Settings" (not under "Internet" like you would think).
"HSI Bundled Svc" is my unbundled internet service, the only thing I have from Comcast. Nothing is bundled so this is a misleading lie. 42.95 with a 17.96 discount for six months.
"Performance Tier WOC" (WOC means With-Out-Cable) is just money they charge you because you only want internet. So $12 just because you choose not to buy a bundle package. Performance is the lowest of the three tiers Comcast offers. So this fee is named as a PURPOSEFULLY misleading lie.
So after six month it will be 42.95 + 12 + 5 = $60 a month just for internet.
But Comcast is raising prices in January 2011. $7 for monthly modem rental, etc.
I'm not complaining, I'm just stating facts. I've gotten good service, but there aren't a lot of choices if I was getting bad service.
The handsome 60 story Comcast Technology Tower is the tallest building in Philadelphia at 1,121 feet.
Comcast Center
Comcast Center is a skyscraper in Center City, Philadelphia. The building officially opened for business on June 8, 2008, and its primary tenant is Comcast.
On June 18, 2007, it became the tallest building in Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in an official topping-out ceremony led by then Philadelphia Mayor John F. Street.
When the final beam in the construction was raised on June 18, ironworkers of Local Union 401 attached a small figurine of William Penn to the beam in homage to the statue atop Philadelphia City Hall, in an attempt to break the Curse of Billy Penn. The Philadelphia Phillies went on to win the 2008 World Series the following season, ending the long championship drought in Philadelphia.
Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects, LLP, the Comcast Center rises to a height of 975 feet (297 m). The Center has 57 floors, 56 rentable with 1,248,000 square feet (115,900 m2) of office space and about 23,000 square feet (2,100 m2) of retail space. In 2006, the building was valued at $523 million.
Kendall/Heaton Associates, Inc., Houston, TX served as the Architect of Record for Comcast Center.
The building is situated between Arch Street, 17th Street, 18th Street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard (the building's footprint obliterated a one block section of Cuthbert Street). While its official address will be One Comcast Center Philadelphia, PA 19103-2838, it is located at 1701 John F. Kennedy Boulevard and the tower itself rises on the Arch Street side of the block, due to the Suburban Station concourse and rail tunnel that run directly beneath Liberty Plaza in front of Comcast Center.
Owing to the terracing and idiosyncratic notch, The Philadelphia Inquirer has joked that Comcast built a giant USB memory stick.
Part of the public space includes a new entrance to the SEPTA's Suburban Station with a 120-foot (37 m) high glass-enclosed winter garden. Other features include:
* Multiple three-story stacked atria rising on the south face of the building
* ½ acre landscaped public park, Liberty Plaza, with a fountain display and an outdoor cafe seating 85.
* Expansion of Suburban Station's underground retail concourse in an area called The Market at Comcast Center
* 500-seat concourse level dining court
* 120 private space underground parking garage
* A giant high-definition video wall in the lobby, standing 25 feet high by more than 83 feet wide and is 10 million pixels, which is a popular attraction in the building [5]
* Two-story cafeteria ("Ralph's Cafe") on the 43rd and 44th floors
* New entrance lobby addition to historic Arch Street Presbyterian Church
* Sustainable building design with the goal of achieving a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating from the U.S. Green Building Council
* Waterless urinals

The project had originally been named One Pennsylvania Plaza, but when Philadelphia-based Comcast Corporation agreed to a significant presence in the tower — taking 873,000 square feet (81,100 m2) on 39 floors in a 15 1/2-year lease — the entire project was named after Comcast.
The lighting scheme for the building was designed by Quentin Thomas Associates and features LEDs at a color temperature of 4100k to complement the existing fluorescent lighting present in the office space. The LEDs are placed in the corners of the building along the spandrel panels, in the cut-outs on the north and south faces and lastly on top 5 floors of the tuned liquid column damper. In addition there is a set of color-programmable LEDs on the top floor facing downwards that will be set to celebrate various events and holidays similar to other buildings in the Philadelphia skyline.
The building has gone through four iterations before the current and final design was adopted. The second version of One Pennsylvania Plaza would have risen to a height of 1,030 feet (314 m) with 62 stories, and would have been the tallest building in the United States, outside of New York City and Chicago.
A second 16-story, 250,000-square-foot (23,000 m2) companion tower is planned for the southwestern section of the parcel.
Comcast Center also contains the largest Tuned Liquid Column Damper (TLCD) in the world.
Effective February 1, 2013 Comcast will be increasing your monthly bill another $5 and cutting the number of premium pay channels you receive to only one per service. In the Sacramento market, you will now only have five HD Premium channels, assuming you are a subscriber. If you signed a contract, they won't let you cut your premium services without paying an early termination fee. Pay More, Get Less. Screw You.

This is the shot, or rather, the culmination of bracketed shots I was taking, when I met an interesting fellow looking to unload what sounds like a sweet deal on a D80 package.
