I don't believe for one minute that anyone would actually dump Verizon because of these horrible, obnoxious commercials featuring a ridiculously aggressive (oh, excuse me, "Quirky") Kate McKinnon dashing about pointing at people and their stupid phones when not jamming her face into the camera. Nor do I believe for one minute that anyone would SWITCH to Verizon based on these stupid ads. So I have to assume that someone at Verizon just decided that it would be fun to hand a woman who doesn't need the financial assistance a big pile of money to do a series of ads that basically result in a wash for the company's bottom line. The only logical result of any of this is that Verizon's customers are irritated, Verizon's non-customers are irritated, and Kate McKinnon's bank account is even happier.
As a Verizon customer who is not going to go through the bother of changing carriers, I'd like Verizon to at least know that I am going to continue to send them money only for that reason. It's not an endorsement of this noxious stupidity. I'd start writing that on every check from now on except I doubt anyone over there cares, and I pay my bill electronically anyway. So I guess I'm just going to keep on being a voice in the wilderness here.
