So far, the ads for my Internet provider have not implied I was the kind of person they wanted as a customer,……. a moron..In ads for other providers, there’s the obese (and remarkably ill-bred) kid who runs screaming down the hall because the Internet is down for a few minutes. .There’s the poor schmuck who tried to hold an real estate open house, only to have his home infested by uninvited neighbors who just can’t resist being boors and are all poking through his house to check the WIFI and the kid whom fast WIFI puts in ecstasy, and his cretin of a dad who is so proud of his dopey kid. .And the best (or worst), the family that virtually becomes suicidal because the Internet is down, and “Something is happening in the world, and we don’t know what it is.”
Come to think if it, people that stupid and obsessed are probably exactly who they want for customers. .In the same vein, there’s the car commercial in which the adolescent girl appears to be having her first orgasm because “It has WIFI !!”
If my Internet goes down, I pick up an old-fashioned printed-on-paper BOOK. I can happily spend the whole day reading a book. As for news, there’s the newspaper or the radio. The online comics and such I like to follow will always be there later…
