There is a commercial where a guy is talking on the phone to one ISP. He asks some questions to basically confirm that this ISP does, indeed, suck. Then he calls the other one and confirms that they are better.

But I swear I’ve seen two versions of this commercial: one where the bad ISP is Comcast, and one where it is Verizon.

AM I NUTS??

You aren’t nuts. I’ve seen it too.

I don’t get it either. It’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen.
