★★★ · What does this have to do with President Bush? · smcelectronics · 2006-12-27

Fun to watch telephone commercials. Just what does this film have to do with New Orleans or hurricanes or President Bush? I thought that this "Review" feature was meant to review the films and not to be used by mentally-challenged individuals who have some kind of anti-American agenda. Who-ever you are down below, get a life. If you are so angry about President Bush, why don't you leave this country-find a better one, maybe Iran or North Korea.

3 phone commercials here.. The first 2 use the same trippy theme and tells of two places around the US you can see, but use the telephone first to make arrangements! The third ad is great, as itÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs almost a crash course in telephone history. At the beginning of coast to coast service, it coast 20.70 cents for a call from New York to San Francisco. Now, it costs 70 cents for a three minute call! And NOW ItÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs even cheaper! So this little ad was quite interesting.
