Is it just me?

I noticed an ad plastered all over the G-train this afternoon (so, it might be just me) for Verizon's yellow pages. And I have to say...it is insanely creepy! There's this little evil cartoon yellow pages making all kinds of rude suggestions about how he can "get all up in my business" as they might say. I think one of the ads said, "If it were any more crowded in here, I'd be in your pants." Excuse me? If your anthropomorphic yellow page a** was in my pants, you, me and Verizon would be getting into a nice little lawsuit chat. Beyond the nature of the "we're trying so hard to be hip and failing oh so tremendously" lingo, the caricature of the phone book looks kind of like a leering peeping tom. And that might be giving leering peeping toms a bad name.

Well, maybe the ad will disappear before anyone else gets a chance to be revolted by it. And to swear off using Verizon for anything (if possible...I need to get to work on that).
