You left out one of the companies I think suck most of all. Intuit, not because of TurboTax or Quicken but because of their flagship piece of ** QuickBooks.

Sprint definately needs to be added to this list.

Google results “sprint sucks” : 166,000 Google results “i hate sprint” : 481,000

this blows verizon out of the water. And as a previous Sprint customer, I can attest to their suck-factor

Google is an interesting one. The simple fact that I used Google to google everything seemed to negate inclusion, but I’ve added it to the list with a few notes about clear SEO slants. Sites like ihategoogle.org are actually positive SEO spins… those damned, dirty SEOs!

Too bad God’s not a company. He’s got everyone beat.

“god sucks” = 2,430,000 “i hate god” = 3,630,000

With just over 6 million, God is clearly the Lord of Internet Hate.

BTW, Google searches for “Walmart” and “Wal-mart” separately: should be 76,700 suck points total using your methodology.

Gareth is absolutely right: when awarding final suck points, the honest way to go is to divide total by the number of plain hits for a Co. name. Search for “Microsoft” brings up 734 Mhits, while for “Comcast” it’s 31.5 Mhits. So, while MS has ~4x more plain suck points, it is mentioned ~22x more often. Ergo, Comcast sucks 22/4=5.5x stronger than Microsoft. This sounds about right to me.

lol @Gareth. It’s hard to be more popular than puppies, so that’s pretty damn good.

Drew I just added an update section to the post, but Mephisto has a bug that isn’t show the edits. As soon as it’s fixed it’ll be on there.
