AT&T calls people who don't use their service, "Idiots" – TechLahore calls AT&T crude and tasteless
In one of their latest, “More bars in more places ad”, AT&T shows a basketball fan shooting hoops at an arcade. The fan’s alter-ego – his phone – appears and says, “Chuck can’t answer right now because Chuck’s an idiot. He doesn’t have AT&T.”
This is completely uncalled-for and inappropriate. We’ve gone from subtle enticements, to telling people to buy products so that they can be ‘cool’, to namecalling?! I can understand how some marketing hack thought this was going to be really funny and maybe to some folks it was. But in general, a mass-campaign directed at the consumer base at large should not… how should we say this… insult its viewership!
Whether or not you are an idiot in AT&T’s book, you can click on the video above and take a look for yourself. We even the score after the fold.
Just to even the score, here we go. AT&T: You are crude and tasteless, and by the way, your service sucks. It’s more like, “more dropped calls in all places”.
