We keep seeing cell
phone company ads where they rave about how great their coverage is, and how
they have the fewest dropped calls, etc. But we all know that cell phone
reception is remarkably unreliable, so why not try to make it seem like a good
thing? That way they wouldn't be promising us something they can't deliver and
making us feel angry and betrayed when we can't get reception or they drop our
calls, right? So here's an idea for a (joke) ad touting the brighter side of
unreliable cell phone reception:
A girl gets a message on
her cell phone from a popular handsome boy she really, really likes a lot at
high school. Well, she immediately tries to call him back, but she can't get
any reception whatsoever. So she tries and she tries, but she can't call him
back no matter what she does; and despite the fact that she's spending all of
her free time desperately trying to return his call, she can't call him back.
Well, this makes the boy think she's blowing him off, and all of a sudden he
thinks she's the bees' knees, and then he gets a crush on her. And so they
become a couple, seriously going steady, and all because he thought she was too
cool to call him back. You see, all the other girls threw themselves at him all
the time, and so he had yearned for a girl that wouldn't act so obsessive, and
so our heroine here appeared to fit the bill, and all because she had lousy,
unreliable cell phone service.
See, it really is a good thing to have lousy cell phone
reception service!
