VIDEO: Verizon Pokes Fun at ''Twilight'' and AT&T
Verizon and AT&T recently dropped their respective lawsuits against each other and we haven't heard so much as a peep out of either of them since. No more Luke Wilson commercials, and no more snide remarks about AT&T's spotty 3G coverage.
That is, until today. It looks like the folks at Verizon haven't quite grown tired of poking fun at AT&T and this time, it seems they're reaching out to the younger crowd.
It's a Twilight rip-off, featuring a love-struck teenage girl and a vampire. When the vampire realizes she's on AT&T, he tells her they can't be together because forever is a long time to endure slow music downloads. He ditches her for a bunch of giggly Verizon customers. I'm not sure why there's a (were?)wolf at the end but I'm assuming I'd need to watch Twilight to know.

"No more Luke Wilson commercials"
They're still going strong on just about every channel I watch.
Has Luke ever made a good movie?
Old School
I will say from personal experience, that even AT&T's non 3G coverage sucks. I couldn't get a single bar at my house unless I waited and watched my phone for 30 min. With Sprint/Verizon on roaming I get 2-3 bars at my house without fail.
The movie about the Dumb army guy who gets frozen and when he awakes the world is wrecked. But I can't think of the name.... Or can I?

Idiocraty or something like that. Great movie, scary in how true it could almost become, if this makes any sense.

Nope, 'cause we all know Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrel were the real stars of that college frat movie.
Hah, that's pretty funny ^_^
Well, I guess Verizon can rest assured that they will sell ZERO phones to 13 year old girls all over the USA.
Got to hand it to Verizon, they have a great marketing team. Contrast that with Microsoft, which spent hundreds of millions of dollars to make a few awkward commercials where Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates discuss random crap.

Agreed. And I think it's Idiocracy if I remember correctly.
It is called Idiocracy. Great movie (for the laughs.) Obligatory XKCD, coming at ya!!!
