Ring Ring "Don't support Verizon"



Verizon has gone and opened a can of worms with there new Dare campaign and I hope they are ready to hear what the public has to say.

Verizon's new ad depicts 2 Pit Bulls chained in a wreaking yard. A young man jumps the fence and the race is on, who is going to get to the new LG phone first.

This add is horrendous and exploits a breed that already fighting an uphill battle. Complaints have been made, petitions have been put together to pull the ad but Verizon refuses to budge. There is no doubt that Verizon new ahead of time the controversy this ad would create, but we all know that no press is bad press.

If you are interested in telling Verizon what you think about this ad please contact

If you`re a Verizon customer cancel your Service.
That will have more impact.
If you`re on a Contract,cancel your Service when the Renewal Date comes up and make sure you inform them of the reason.
Have LG products in your house?
That`s an LG phone in that ad.
Money talks.
Put pressure on LG Executives to have a chat with Verizon Executives.
I`ve informed LG that there will be NO more LG products coming into this house due to that ad.
They sell a lot more than phones!

My family saw that ad and you should have heard the groans in
this house! Even from my 10 year old.
Thanks for giving us a way to
make our thoughts heard!
