New Alltel commercial: is it in bad taste?

The best way to end a tug of war is to simply let go of the rope.

No fun in that.

Yeah, especially when you could just use said rope to hang the other person! ;)

...and especially when I'm right! ;)

The best way to lose a tug of war is to simply let go of the rope. :)

It's certainly the most entertaining way . . .

Using a satellite image I added some graphics to show where the family is sitting, where the Alltel guy and kid are as they walk/talk, and the direction the camera is pointing during the scenes of the family on the "grassy knoll.". If anyone would like to host this and reply with a link that would be cool (I don't have a website).

Who has a website? Gonch? :)

EDIT - and here's another link to an aerial shot that might be useful for you guys trying to sort this out.

I think the commercial would have been funnier if somebody on the ride just heaved on the kids.

Thanks Gonch!...and LOL to RGB.

Great...but since you have your markers out, where can I find the airtime? (small inside joke)... ;)

It's JUST a commercial. I don't see anything negative about it.

Finally, someone gets it. lol

LOL Gator. Notice I did use pink again!

Somewhere, somebody has a Super-8 film of the area in question...

Tempest in a teapot. It's cute, interesting, and it furthers the story arc of the New Chad. Nobody else beside we enthusiasses is even going to pay it (low zone violations in a commercial) a moment's thought.

Right and too bad that they are the same company now....

If anyone has a picture of that particular spot by the coaster, please post it.

It was 2009, so....

And now I don't even remember Alltel...

ok, forget that, keep moving!

The case continues to be made for closing old threads...

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks Jeff's doing this just to make the case for him.
