I couldn't find
any pictures of it, but I hate these commercials. They're fucking
creepy. There are two of them, both featuring old people talking
about calling their "peeps" about going to keggers, partying, and
getting laid. If I never here an old person talk about getting
action again, it'll be too soon. The first one I saw was
this old white lady saying "hells yeah" and hanging out in what
looks like LA's concrete river showing off their rides. Oh, and
their rides appear courtesy of the Scooter Store. The second one is
an old black lady talking to her friend about hanging out in Fabolous' limo and getting krunk. Call this an unfair
generalization if you must, but old people are no good at
everything. The whole premise behind the commercial is
retarded. Boost Mobile is trying their damnedest to make their
phones seem like the coolest cells e-v-e-r to easily-manipulated
morons. Unfortunately, they totally fuck up by making their
spokesmen old people. Here's why: the only people dumb enough to be
swayed by this marketing strategy are stupid kids no older than 17.
Now, if I learned anything in high school, it's that kids will
immediately hate something when old people start liking it.
Therefore, they completely alienate the one group of people they could
possibly appeal to with this marketing campaign by casting old
people instead of little teenaged bastards. Good job, Boost Mobile;
hope you enjoy the tenure of your company, because I guarantee
you'll be bankrupt within a year. That, or acquired by some other
cell phone company.
