Disturbing Ad

Your ad showing 2 blubbering, crying women is very disturbing.  Please take it down.  Can you say fingernails on a blackboard?  I swear it makes me want to cancel my service.

I think annoying would be a better description.  But, I'm sure others like it, so just change the channel.

It could be worse.  For example does anyone remember the AT&T "I should have married John Clark." one?

I agree, Demmo. Some people just need to grow up and quit complaining about the little things in life.

(A) Haven't seen the ad, so can't comment on that.

(B) This is more a user-to-user tech forum than a general Verizon suggestion box, so there's not much point registering a complaint about a commercial here.

(C) OTOH -- tremontij, people can't express their opinions? Or are only allowed to have a certain range of opinions about a specified list of topics? If you've got the list, brother, please share. No offense, just sayin'.

I agree with Dave on points 2 & 3 - I have seen the ad and don't quite get what the point is - it IS annoying and I tend to just ignore it.  BUT, I do remember Verizon at the end, so maybe that IS the point.  It's memorable.  I do remember the first time I saw it wondering what the ad gurus were thinking ...

And I suppose this post works here, since it was an Android commercial, but it may be more Off-Topic than anything else.

I thought they killed thre ad. I saw it once about 3 weeks ago and have not seen it since. But it was really annoying.  SuzyQ, ya may remember the Verizon name but not in a good light.

I just wonder how an ad agency could even think the ad is/was entertaining.

I have seen it recently (maybe they think it will work better here in CA?) - and yes, it's a negative connotation with the Verizon name.  Makes you want to run right out to a Verizon store... NOT.

I saw the mother daughter crying ad in the last few days here. It is easy for me to tune out an ad if I know I have seen it before.
