I lost track of Ryan’s point amid the horrendous grammar and punctuation, but he mentioned the Slowskys commercials for Comcast which, in my opinion, are some of the most hilarious ads out there right now. It takes a LOT for me to not fast forward through commercials.

“Maybe you should take your lecture elsewhere..to a convention of people that like lectures.” http://www.slowskys.com, the “Mailman” one.

Priceless.

I maybe but at least my money i pay for my phone bill gives me something i can use instead of seeing 100’s of millions of dollars to combat the SLowski’s for TV comercials.

Ryan,

Are you sure you aren’t astroturfing in favor of one of your company’s revenue sources?

I like the the hard cover phonebook my paper back phonebook rips half thru the year. I still have last years hard cover book plus my 3 yr old uses it a step stool so she can reach the sink to brush her teeth.

I wouldn’t use the phone book if I had the choice, but there’s been times where I’ve had to, like when my home didn’t have power for a couple days last year or I’ve been out in the middle of nowhere without access to the Internet. Plus, there’s still some people that don’t have computers or Internet connections (though that number is dropping). So, it’s not a dead technology just yet.

That said, a hardcover phone book is just dumb, and I don’t like having to get one even if you don’t want one.

Yes I use the phone book. Any many people still do. And yes I use the internet too. But I find the phone book is much faster for things I look for locally. I think you give the internet too much credit.

Mrs M,

I don’t think I’d be able to pull off the stunt with the hardcover! I think they did it on purpose so I couldn’t :(

Well obviously they are trying to challenge you with the ripping phone books in half stunt. You want ours too? One for practice and one for showing off?
