Companies I have sworn off

I am now using this forum to vent a little bit about companies that I have sworn off for a variety of reasons. The first to receive this dubious distinction? Westinghouse.
Back in August 2007, we bit the bullet and for the first time in our lives actually spent money on a TV. We were all smiles as we unpacked the 40" LCD from the box. We enjoyed HD in all its glory for the first time. Fast forward to September of 2008 and 2 things happened: the internal DVD player stopped working and what can only be best explained as "pixel cancer." Upon calling customer service, they mentioned how it was just too bad that I was just outside my 1 year warranty and how there was nothing they could do. They told me that I might as well just replace the TV because of the cost it would be to get it fixed on my own. Since that time, the pixel cancer has spread and seems to have come to a stop (an example is included below).

For this reason, Westinghouse is company number 1 on my list of companies I have sworn off. Check back in the future for more companies I have banned myself from.
