The word for today is Asinine.
Asinine (adj): Extremely stupid. The policy for a certain cellular company's prepaid minutes is asinine.
Apparently, AT&T's policy of "prepaid" cell phone minutes, for those who choose not to have a contract, means that they have a contract whether they want to or not. You can purchase minutes for a prepaid cell phone account in $50, $75, or $100 increments. However, they have expiration dates: thirty days, ninety days, and one year respectively. Any unused balance at the end of that time period is lost (not really lost, but pure profit for AT&T). That, to me, is contrary to the notion of "prepaid".
