Completely Awesome Advertising
Okay, let me first say that I concede that I'm a total dupe of the marketing geniuses behind this Verizon FIOS campaign, and that in posting this video I'm essentially playing into their money-grubbing meathook hands. I fully and freely admit that I am a lemming, a pawn, a tool of our evil capitalist overlords. GRANTED. But OMG y'all, this shit so totally cracks me up (as our overlords intended, such is their sinister genius):
Marketing objectives? ACHIEVED. I welcome my future chip implantation and bar-code tattooing with open arms.
Bonus video proof of how much of a sucker I am for The Man after the jump...
Oh Justin, you've somehow managed to make soul-selling appealing:

Those are my current two favorite ads, too, but Verizon still sucks and I prefer Coke.

My favourites right now are the Sprintcuts - brilliant.

I second Mrs. Kennedy's positions. I especially enjoy the Andy Samberg cameo.

I kind of hate you now for making me think Michael Bay is adorable.

OMG -- laughing so hard I have tears coming out of my eyes. :) I need to watch that Justin video about 800 more times. Hysterical! But I won't drink Pepsi -- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
