Don't you just love people on cell phones? This grand new U.S. Cellular spot from Publicis & Hal Riney is based on a pretty ludicrous premise: that people talking on their cell phones in public are a source of joy for everyone around them. Nothing could be further from the truth, but don’t let that get in the way of your obligatory sweeping 60-second feel-good branding spot. After seeing this ad, the company’s “Don’t be afraid to be that friend” gorilla ad is growing on me. —Posted by Tim Nudd

Please take this off the Internet. You have just wasted some good time in my life. I could have planted a tree or kissed my kids in the time it took to watch that poor display. Poor, I say.

It's easier to sulk over a drink at the viceroy than to be optimistic. Ad people have such a hard life and should be sad all the time because of it. Besides, It's cooler to be that way.
