Walking and Talking

Another Verizon Wireless ad has gotten under my skin lately. This series of spots features people walking and talking about what they are going to do now that they have unlimited minutes or whatever plan the ad is for. The girl is okay, except that I don't really understand the whole "I'm going to call Mike and Jim and Brad, Hi Brad, not Brad" thing. Does she not have to call him now because she saw him or what? Weird. And besides being kind of loose, she is also wearing a skirt that is 4 inches too short. It is a nice suit and she is very pretty girl, but the length of her skirt makes her legs look heavier than they probably are. The other ad shows a guy doing the walk and talk and one of the things he plans to do is "be that guy" talking on his phone while he's on the treadmill. Great. Cause what we need is more dipwads out there being rude and obnoxious in public. So I'm not really sure what vibe Verizon was going for with these ads, but they've landed on a 'more minutes will let you be the asshole/ho you have always wanted to be.' I can't imagine that was the plan.
