Clueless Ad Agency (Inbox)
Never having considered myself a geek or a nerd, even though I have spent
over 35 years working in the computer industry, I guess I really am.
While watching the Olympics - yes, sometimes I actually look at something
other than my PC screen, although not often, I promise - this
enlightenment suddenly came to me. An advertisement for ATT.COM
appeared, and to my amazement blue ants were running all over the screen.
I don't know about you, but to me, ants are bugs, right? Now, do I
really want to subscribe to an Internet server which is filled with bugs?
To my increasing horror, these bugs kept multiplying, and even bridged
gaps. Can you say VIRUS and WORM? What was this company or it's ad
agency thinking? Maybe others had the same thought because after a week
the ants disappeared. Perhaps they developed a patch? I think I will
just give ATT.COM a pass, at least until the are RAIDed! [Chuck Erickson]

Oh no, the ants were still on TV today. This is amusing though. I just looked at them as “industrious little workers, getting the job done” until now. Now I'll I will see are bugs, viruses and worms. (I knew their service sucked either way, not like the commercial was going to win me over to begin with.) On that note - my favorite commercial lately? The CDW one on TechTV. “I'm off to crash the server! Wish me luck!” and “Did you order my incompatible software yet?” Gets me every time.
