Ugh,
this commercial is horrible!! I can't believe all of the comments on
it, too. Most of them are saying that it's hilarious and true, and the
few people that have commented about how it's bad are getting insulted. I
like this comment, though: "This is a bad commercial. It seems funny
at first....but then you realize it's showing how Facebook, and Twitter
can be used by stalkers. I bet you what they're showing has actually
happened. Imagine this ad, if the stalker was a dude instead. Much, much
less funny." I like how they're getting at the point that it's
minimizing the seriousness of stalking, showing how technology has
become a major tool for stalkers, and how it's reinforcing the idea that
all females are stalkers.

Ahh,
the second one is even worse! It's like they're totally insinuating
that all girls are hysterical and "crazy" and that people will therefore
relate to the commerical and be more likely to buy the phone. And the
fact that they're portraying stalking, especially by a girl, as harmless
and comical is just disgusting.
