WHAT A DOUCHEBAG! - New AT&T Commercials

I. Hate. AT&T.

Back in November, AT&T tried to sue Verizon over their "there's a map for that" ad campaign, where they compared their wireless 3G coverage to that of AT&T. AT&T sued because they said the ad was misleading and that people would be confused and think it referred to phone coverage.

As you may have guessed, the judge laughed in AT&T's faces and told them they didn't make a case. AT&T got mad and decided to make their own ads.

Bad idea.







In essence, Luke Wilson comes off as the biggest douche bag possible. He comes off as being the little 10-year-old boy that AT&T is acting like over the fact that Verizon is actually making a good point, and better ads:



Just as petty as the AT&T revenge ads? Yes, but at the very least it was fun and entertaining.

AT&T has made a new ad campaign that makes you want to hate them. They're not making a good point about what Verizon said, and they really aren't making a good case.

AT&T, here's my advice for you: STOP IT! STOP showing these fucking commercials! No one, I repeat, NO ONE thinks your phone service doesn't work in most of the country, just your SLOW AND SPOTTY 3G coverage! Anyone who spends 5 minutes doing a web search on any of your claims can see that a few of them are false and blatant lies. Right now, this is the number one result when you type in "new at&t commercial". Do you know what that means? People are actually listening to me about this, AND AGREEING!

THESE COMMERCIALS SUCK!!!!!!!!

I totally agree. Those commercials don't offer any information, other than AT&T being assholes.

In one commercial there were two sets of blocks representing AT&T and Verizon, orange and red. Luke Wilson basically said AT&T was better, then the trap door under the Verizon blocks.

So because Luke Wilson was paid to say something, and the director has a Lord Privy Seal problem, that makes AT&T #1.

I hope they don't think this shit is fooling anyone.
