at&t commercial
After watching the commercial, I don't think I have ever felt so annoyed by something before. AT&T uses children in their commercial to lure the viewers into watching what is a cleverly arranged ploy to manipulate us to use their services. Personally, besides feeling emotionally manipulated because of the two lost children, the commercial makes fun of a classic "Grimm Brothers" story, it is truly pointless. Gretel, the female character, uses a trail of bread crumbs as a method to find home, but the trail is erased by various means in the city and in the end she pulls out her cellphone and uses the GPS. I cannot help but think, what was the point of the breadcrumbs to begin with if she had her phone. As alluring and manipulative as this commercial was, I find that I am left feeling truly annoyed by its nature, and with AT&T.
