CTIA “Conductor” Ad

I think we’ve all seen this one. This is where the ad shows people acting like they are “conducting” (like an orchestra conductor) stuff that happens in the ad. They’ve got a lady paying a parking meter, a trucking company guy sending out trucks, and a firefighter checking out the progress of a fire in an office building. But it’s what they’re not showing us that’s most revealing here, for these people are all using this ability to hurt society, rather than help it.

They don’t want you to know it, but this technology can be and is being abused, even in their ads! You can’t see it because they are framing the action to intentionally cut out the incriminating parts! I know about it because I saw them shoot these ads, so now I can report to you all what really happened!

Okay, that woman sending coins through the air into her parking meter: they didn’t show you that she stole them all by lifting them out of other people’s pockets and out of other adjacent cars, with some coins even smashing out the car windows as they were stolen! Then there’s the truck company guy: he’s sending trucks out, but what you can’t see is that just out of frame there are schoolchildren crossing the street, and he’s sending those trucks out specifically to run them over! And finally, there’s the “firefighter”: but what they don’t tell us is that he’s just dressed up as a firefighter so that no-one would suspect that he’s actually an arsonist! That’s why when he looks at what the fire is doing inside the building he smiles so happily at the end: his arson plan is working like gangbusters!

Yes, these CTIA people would have you believe that their products will help us all, when they’re already being used by master criminals in their own ads! But we’re onto you now, CTIA! And we’ll stop you from using your 3-D computer technology to rule the world through criminal organizations like you’re trying to, you tech-savvy Dr. Mabuses! Yes, we all know what you’re really up to, and we won’t stand for it!

Here’s the ad (They call it the “command” ad, but see what you think.):
