If you'd like to help put a stop to some advertising schlock, see here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR2pDORss1c
wherein AT&T has created a number of false accounts for the purpose of leaving such ball-licking comments as:

------------------------------------------------
-Such a great commercial. The announcer sounds so honest. I believe him.

-I love this commercial because of the ending how it shows the child side of all of these gadgets and how they really bring us back to our childish sides. I love this commercial!

-I love this commercial. It does kinda remind you of how blissful childhood could be. and that the child doesn't leave you, it's still inside.

-Oh god, it's so beautiful! Simplicity really touches people.

-Yay! Yay! Yay! Anything IS possible. Oh, what fond memories I have of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. One of my favorites. So thrilled to see AT&T using this piece in this spirit. Pure Imagination -- pure feel-good. ;)
------------------------------------------------

They've constructed the accounts to seem as random as possible - nonsensical favorites interleaved with words of AT&T praise. The practice of posing as a member of the public while subversively advertising through opinion and testimony is an illegal practice in the UK and US, falling under the false advertising act.

Now matter how much you might like their service, they shouldn't be allowed to manipulate public opinion illegally and generally contribute to the idiocy of the world.

Please, I ask that you 'thumbs down' this video.

That was never proven.
And anyway, those people were definitely 16.

I love this post.
It does kinda remind you of how blissful childhood could be. and that the child doesn't leave you, it's still inside. Even if you've been raped.

Whenever I watch an advert using that tune
I hear the Family Guy version.
