About Me

Consupo is an online community that provides a safe and effective environment for the consumer's voice to be heard. We believe that companies should be held accountable for their business practices - both positive and negative. Consupo offers a legitimate forum for change at a time when customer service is taking a back seat to company profits. As consumers it's time to band together and force our voices to be heard. Whether it's jobs going overseas, or a product that has not performed as advertised, we can help you to publish your complaint and form allies for your defense.

My Interests

Consumer reviews, company ratings, customer satisfaction, opinions, voices, consumer empowerment, and anything people spend money on.

I'd like to meet:

Consumers. Anyone that has ever given a dollar to a company.

Music:

Are you angry because you recently bought a CD with only one good track? Warn others at Consupo.com . Or spread the word about that awesome band that uses only sticks, garbage cans and bird calls to create the rockin' tunes you live for.

Movies:

Think movie critics ought to be gagged with popcorn, their eyelids glued open, and stuck in a room watching your favorite film till they recognize it for the piece of cinematic art it truly is? Review it yourself by creating a case at Consupo.com .

Television:

Tired of American Idol and reality television? Or are you finally working up the nerve to tryout next season? Review your favorite shows by creating a case on Consupo.com . Think American Gladiators is the best thing on TV, cheering as you watch it in your spandex with a jousting stick replica made from a broom, old coach cushions, glue, and duct tape. Show the world how dedicated you are at Consupo.com .

Books:

Are you the one person who thinks OJ's book, "If I Did It," deserves a sequel? Make a case at Consupo.com . Everyone else, make a case for authors and novels of actual quality.

Heroes:

Consupo's top rated companies as of 4/29: Canlis Restaurant, Dutch Mothers Family Restaurant, Cachalot Charters, Goodwood Barbecue Company, The Mist.

Consupo's worst rated companies as of 4/29: Thoroughbred Collision Center, Top Notch Van Lines, T-Mobile USA, Six Flags Theme Parks Inc., Honda of Kirkland.
