A commercial/cartoon I'd like to see, re: NSA wiretaps
Edited on Tue Jan-03-06 12:40 AM by Mabus
Every time I see those Verizon Wireless commercials - the ones where someone buys a cell phone and walks outside only to be greeted by thousands of support technicians - I envision the throng wearing NSA jackets. It just seems like a natural to do a commercial or cartoon captializing on this familiar scenario.

edited for clarity (or the best I could do).

7. Thanks
Every since the thought of them wearing NSA jackets occurred to me, those commercials seem a little creepy now.

2. I am sure that someone adept at computer graphics could just go in
and make over all their little jackets--can we talk to the folks at ILM?

6. That would be cool
I'm not a good artist or I'd give it a try myself.

8. NSA : "We listen to our customers"
There was an poster from the 1990s based on this theme. I think made by the cryptography providers RSA, who were constantly butting heads with government spooks at the time.

9. That's a little creepy. How about "We know what you did last summer."
or "we know what you'll be doing Tuesday"
