Best Ad from Best Buy: End Your Phone Shame Today
I guess Best Buy has a sense of humor too...this ad was soooooooooooo me. In fact, I didn't even take my phone out of my purse in the T-Mobile store when I went to look at new phones. But I loved my old phone...the Dash. For three years. Even its name said "sassy." I finally let Dash go and upgraded to the Motorola Cliq XT. All touchscreen, no physical keyboard. I am using maybe 10% of its functionality (kinda like our brains, so that's all good, right?). My favorite app is the current weather for my zip code. Basically, I'm like an old person with that. I like the voice searches on Google Maps and "closest Starbucks location" too. Truly groundbreaking. I'm now caught up to approximately 2007 with the technology. Someday I might download a song or something...
I'd like to thank all my friends, family, and the HCBC for being with me through that dark time with no data and only 1000 text messages a month. Now I'm unlimited -- talk on!

I love clever/witty/funny marketing!
Limitless data/texting = phone addiction. But at least I can admit I have a problem right?
I can think of several people who could benefit from this ad campaign.
Yippie for unlimited texts! Yes I have a problem too :)
YAY!
