TELUS: "We just don't want to lose money, you dead beat. You know how it is..."

You might have missed this hilarity. TELUS thinks it's customers are "broke dead beats." Or at least they did very briefly. The telecom giant was forced to  apologize after user accounts somehow became home to the following web copy.

"Why do I need a credit check?

You may be broke, therefore highly unlikely to pay your bill.

We just don't want to lose money, you dead beat. You know how it is..."

Of course, it was Twitter that brought the worlds attention to this, according to the Montreal Gazette

Jim Jahannsson, a TELUS spokesman said, "As soon as this came to our attention we immediately removed it. The errant text does not represent Telus' policy or our view and we apologize for the error."
