I noticed this the other night and thought I'd share:
Verizon has this new ad campaign where the ENTIRE network (complete with the "can you hear me now?" guy) shows up when people whip out their Verizon phones. I'm sure you've all seen this right? Well, on one of them the dad comes into the kitchen pimpin' phones and gives one to his daughter and says, "you can call me when you go to the mall." and then turns to his son who's sporting Goth-wear and raccoon eye makeup, and dad says, "you can call me whenever you go…uh, where ever it is that you go." At which point the son and the entire Verizon network are transported to the dance club that I guess we're supposed to all assume is where the son "goes".
The funny part is that the son looks over at the network, and there's this cable guy (tool belt, hard hat, looking like a Village person) smiling back at the son and dancing, as if to say, "Join me on the dance floor sweetie?" But the "Can you hear me now?" guy (who's obviously a homophobe) delivers the cable guy an admonishing look as if to say, "No gay hook-ups on my watch, pal!" And cable guy ceases his dancing.
I'm not sure it that was all intentional or not, but it's sure funny as hell to me...especially the uh....eager look on cable guys face.
