HAHAHAHA

Yeah, that is a real ad, it was on anandtech forums in fact. 🙂 The yellow must have grabbed my attention because I rarely look at the ads!

Sign up for some porn newsletters and blame it on AOL.

OMG that's funny because it's made by Sprint, and it's made to make fun of AOL. Not only do they say AOL sucks, but they do it subtly, as they make folders that have three things, and if one looks at it carefully, it spells out A O L! The letters are even yellow to make sure the user sees it. Brilliant.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA.

I would like to know if this is a &quot;real&quot; ad put out by Sprint. I don't think it is and here's why. Sprint PCS is working with aol to allow aol users to access thier e-mail from thier cell phone. Now if this was working properly it would be a keen selling feature for however many jaded aol users there are. That just seems like a risky move if you ask me. Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think so.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, that is pretty funny

 

[Valhalla1]

kinda cheezy

 

[zippy]

sparkle, I got the ad right from this site, so you can forget that lil conspiracy theory. 😉

 

[yakko]

So what's your point?

GoldenBear,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm sure nobody grasped the concept until your post.

[kduncan5]

I think the ad is just stating a fact that everyone else is already aware of.:disgust:




But it's still funny.....🙂 -kd5-

Nope..I'm perceptive like that.

You could learn a lot from me.

It's not a Sprint ad. It's an Earthlink ad, advertising their partnership with Sprint.

In Las Vegas, Sprint used to have their own ISP (they're the local telco), but they eventually switched it over to Earthlink. I'm pretty sure that's how it went nationwide as well.
