Sprint Super Bowl Commercial highlights "crime deterrent" feature

Check out Sprint's Super Bowl Commercial on YouTube boasting Sprint phone features like live TV, wireless music downloads, email and crime deterrent.
The clip is funny at first, but in truth, throwing a phone at someone's head (even if he tries to steal your wallet)- that's the "crime deterrent feature"), could lead kids watching to set a new trend.
UPDATE Monday I checked out all the Super Bowl commercials courtesy of CBS, who has listed them by quarter, and the above Sprint ad is not included. So it must be a spoof. Well done!.
There were actually two mobile phone related commercials, one entitled "Connectile Dysfunction" by Sprint and the other by T.Mobile entitled "Duane Wade and Charles Barkley", both viewable on CBS or on Moco News.
