According to a story on KOMO News, a Burien woman got so frustrated with Comcast’s lack of response to their graffiti-covered fence that they called the TV station’s “problem solver” hotline.

So she did what every good American would do – she called the “problem solver” at a local TV station, and guess what?

The graffiti was removed within one hour!
