No, your Business is NOT beautiful, and your commercial sucks.
I'm faxing a cease-and-desist letter over to Sprint. Seriously. If I see this commercial and hear that annoying song one more time, I'm probably going to hurt myself, or others. Just sayin'.

2. Is it worse than Mercedes Benz's String on My Finger? It makes me
want to drill nails into my ears. And they play it CONSTANTLY on certain shows. Thank goodness for the clicker.

3. I never thought that the Six Flags ad campaign could get competition...
for the most annoying ad campaign. Until I saw Sprint's new ads. Breathtakingly awful. Please send that fax right away. :-) Terry

4. Actually, the Sprint ad only recently eclipsed the Six Flags ad...
... as my pull-my-freaking-hair-out most hated ad. :-) And, don't even get me started about those Safe Auto commercials.

5. Wow! What I seem to be missing by not watching commercial TV...
makes me wonder if I've made the right decision to use my TV set for DVD movies only. On the one hand, it leaves me clueless regarding current pop culture references, but on the other it spares me so much agro.

6. I'm sooooo glad you mentioned that!
Between the "uniforms" and the cheery repetition of "my business is beautiful" that ad seems Orwellian. That woman in the blue dress who "rocks out" center-stage at the end of it...did they make a casting call for an Elaine Chao look-alike? Yeah sure Sprint, I'll handle your business...whip it out. :evilgrin:

9. When a product is advertised so much....
I always figure that it is one to avoid. It's like McDonald's with all their advertising. They put so much energy and money into selling the product, that I suspect they are short changing the quality of the product. :hippie:

12. "Sprint is in here...Sprint is in there"
"Sprint is eating away at VolcanoJen's very soul!" Wait...that doesn't rhyme.

14. Hey Jen!!! Over here!!!!
Speaking of commercials... What was the beer company that used to have a slogan that said "Vaz you ever in Zinzinatti"? I remember hearing it around 1971 or so in Ohio.

I was six years old, and still living in either Canada or Detroit. I'll find my mom, and get back to you on that. :D Sorry! But doesn't the Sprint commercial SUCK? Give me "Can You Hear Me Now" anyday over dancing secretaries.
