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's trying to steal your wallet- that's the "crime deterrent feature"), is kind of irresponsible and could lead kids watching, to do the same.
UPDATE Monday night Wrong again, across the line! The above commercial was not this year's commercial nor a spoof, but Sprint's Super Bowl commercial last year. Thank you Natas for setting me straight.
UPDATE Monday morning 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.
