Most Depressing Ad Ever



Every time I see this advert, I want to die. A young South Asian woman is riding alone in a cab late at night. What is on her mind at this romantic hour? A scene from tonight's production of "Pygmalion"? Hillary's chances in the primary? The next date with a lover? No, says Sprint. the industrious Sunita dreams in pie charts and stock prices. She is returning from a late night of number crunching at the office. 70 hours of her week already belong to a consulting firm or investment bank. But why stop there? If only she had a Sprint wireless card, she could squeeze some more productivity out of those last remaining hours and serve the shareholders. Wonderful, thank you, Sprint.
