consumerist.com — Imagine a mugger holding a gun to you and saying, "I need you to pay for that gold watch I gave you last week." Confused, you say, "Uh, you never gave me a gold watch." The mugger says, "Hey buddy, pay me for that watch or else..." That's a melodramatic interpretation of one consumer's experience with Orbitz.

You beat me to it. I don't understand how companies like this stay around. I mean, look at how much bad publicity they get on the internet.
