2) Keith then made the point that if you call the cable company and didn't expect to get bad customer service you were stupid.
3) Chemda and half the audience then got upset with Keith because they decided his saying "you should expect bad costumer service" is the same as saying the cable companies should be providing bad customer service.
In reality Keith was actually saying "You shouldn't be surprised, but the cable companies SHOULD change and that a lawsuit is a good thing.

I don't think I could still be a fan of this show if I actually believed Keith was a complete sexist asshole but he sure likes to rile us up with clever wordplay (as is his job)
But he absolutely does phrase his words deliberately shitty and unfortunately there are lots of super dumb idiots out there that won't recognize subtleties so I'd rather he speak out about this topic as clearly and unmistakable as he has about other topics.
