This is horrible!

I just saw a new one of those AT&T commercials! (Akin to IDK, My BFF Jill/Rose?)

Ugh. I died when I saw it... but it looks like our complaints may have worked!

At the end, the mother's all, "I have totally failed you as a mother, haven't I?"

I just nodded and said, yes, yes you have.

Also, I'm stealing your FSM signature 3nodding

I was wondering when someone would bring that up.

And I also noticed the epic failure of the mother as a parent. For shame. xd

I seriously dislike those "IDK my BFF Jill?" commercials.. And the sad thing is, that people in my school actually say that. gonk And didn't you see that old lady who said, "IDK my BFF Rose?" I might just cry...

You do realize that because we protest, they are only going to do it more? Ahem, sorry. You know those dumb phone companies and their gimmicks.

I think they're kind of funny, biggrin but at the same time they just show the lack of ability in the English language that many young people have these days.

Oh, I saw that commercial. The only thing it's doing is supporting illiteracy.

I think that it's actually supporting literacy and illiteracy, because if parents who despise text talk see that, they might make their kids stop if they use it, so that doesn't happen. And by supporting illiteracy, it's showing Kindergarteners this garbage. I didn't even know what text talk was until around second or third grade. Or fourth. I don't remember. sad

I don't think that made any sense, but I said it anyways! Hehe.

I have also seen txt tlk in many other commercials. How about the Chipmunks movie DVD ads? That is another one that has just come out.

Those commercials get extremely annoying to me...

especially when you have a twin sibling and an older sibling repeating them... day by day gonk
