Wait 'til they note the spike in Brie prices at Whole Foods!



Dear Verizon,

This commercial would be slightly more believable if I could buy the idea that anyone in it really gave a damn if their cable bill went up by $20 or $50 or even $100 per month.  I mean, maybe if you showed me people living in an apartment, or a trailer, or even in an f---ing modest home and not a surburban palace (one of these guys is hosting an f--ing POOL PARTY when he gets "blindsided" by a bill increase, for crying out loud!  These people are concerned about cable bills?  Yeah, I'm so sure.)

On the other hand, I'd like to thank you for not being the company that continues to harrass me with DISH IS HOW YOU DO IT ear-bleeding crud ads.  It's not much, but I really do want to make a point of mentioning that you had nothing to do with that.

One more thing- I'd also like to thank you for feeling so threatened by DISH IS HOW YOU DO IT that you gave me a nice discount on MY cable bill just because I called and warned I might switch.  Hey, maybe I should be thanking Dish.  Not going to, though.

    Yeah, usually when you complain that the people in ads aren't needing to look for deals I get upset because you're basing your estimation of their wealth on East Coast property values that aren't reflective of the rest of the country, but with this ad I agree: if you have money to maintain a swimming pool and for the rest of that large-even-by-ad-standards house, you can probably afford whatever your media providers can throw at you.
