I mean - c'mon. Every single prime time television show seems to be brought to you either by that annoying "cingular" wireless phone company or by some "tamping" product guaranteed to make a woman feel fresh. What gives? Are there no other products out there with the budgets to purchase prime time television ad space?
And who was the genius ad executive who came up with those incredibly bland orange-"X" cingular ads? Were these designed to be as inoffensive as possible to the widest possible audience? Jumping jack people spouting word balloons? Oh yeah, that's gonna get me to go out and buy your minutes package.
And don't get me started on those horrendous Sprint commercials. That low bass guitar riff signature does one thing and one thing only -- it clues me in on when to click to the next channel. Those dingy cell phone counselor ads positively define "unfunny."
