This aint no foolin' around! No joke. This is a fast moving world that is constantly evolving and in kind the tools needed to take charge in this world are evolving. It's pretty clear by now and I know I don't need to tell you this but I just can't help but shout it from the rooftops! Verizon Wireless' network is clearly the culmination of all of our human endeavors both technologically and culturally. Don't believe me?
I give you exhibit A:
Where to begin? Well first off, prejudice is rarely something experienced by affluent young women with under three percent body fat as clearly is the case with all the subjects in this commercial. Beyond that though is the idea that somehow it is through text messaging that these girls will not only remain empowered but strengthen their cause. I am sorry but I can only hear so much of this kind of garbage before I need to mega barf out to the max!
Exhibit B:
No excuse for this! If this guy doesn't have Netflix instant watch on the computer that is SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM then he doesn't deserve to be entertained! And how does this make watching movies any more impacting of an experience than it was before this pile came crawling out of the void? Simply put, it doesn't. It couldn't. It would be like... watching a four inch TV. I don't doubt that it would be surprisingly engaging considering the small screen size but to liken it to a bio-mechanical optical transformation? Plus... Blockbuster? Wow thanks. Does is come with Napster too? I am suddenly thirsty for a Crystal Pepsi... and a McRib. I won't go there. I am gonna eat one. For Nostalgia's sake.
Exhibit C:
Keep ahead of the crowds? HOW? Does it have an app to make people NOT like splash mountain anymore? We went to Disneyland when I was a kid and somehow managed to navigate our way around without even an analog map let alone whatever kind of bullshit they are trying to hock here. Talk about creating a problem to solve! It's Disneyland! You know, the happiest place on earth? Doesn't that sound like the exact place to NOT need crud like this? Like isn't ANYWHERE you go in the park a pleasant destination?
I will leave you with this last one that is not Verizon. I feel it represents the next onslaught of selling people shit they don't need.
Exhibit D:
Are we supposed to believe that these "slackers" really have enough money to own homes let alone take out insurance policies on them? Well... No. The young man adds to his list of Statefarm demands "the girl from 4E" implying that they must live in some sort of apartment/condo situation. However in a situation like that, any request for repairs would be deferred to the superintendent. Pretty bad when you can show your product failing in it's own commercial. Plus replacing a window that size wouldn't cost as much as the deductible plus whatever lame fees are attached for processing and all that jazz. Also the commercial is pretty easy to spot as a wolf in sheep's clothing. They are pushing the focus group demographic "twenty something" thing a bit too far. Maybe they are trying to sell insurance to these kid's parents. Who knows. Thank god I don't.

Prime directive.
Wow. It's been a while since I have written in a box that won't stop me after a few hundred characters. I often have things I want to write about but just don't have the room on the facebook. I wrote to someone recently and was told that my letter was "TLDR" or "Too Long/ Didn't Read". Really? I guess if you can't even bring yourself to write out the words then you are too important to be communicated with.
I don't really have anything to say right now. I ate too much mac 'n' cheese and am in caught in a food vortex threatening to pull me into a food coma. Annies white chedder and shells was on sale at the food ditch.
That is all. Just feels good to write without a limit. Please read.
