The utter hypocricy of them complaining that Verizon is a monopoly exempt from competition and casting themselves as champion of the little guy (witness the garbage-bag Robin Hood ads) is revolting.

Note that the ads in which they cry are free to them; they can run them all day.

And do.

I'm waiting for Home Depot to notice how similar the music running under some of their VoD ads is to Home Depot's theme...only one or two notes difference with nearly identical insturmentation. They also run another ad with a soundtrack insanely derivative of the theme music for "I Dream of Jeannie".
