I hate those Helios commercials

"Don't call us a phone company. Don't call it a phone."

OK, how about I just call it an overhyped piece of technocrap that does nothing new and is getting on my nerves with it's ridiculous commercials? Is that better?

[Boku AKA Da Green Guy]

Completely agree.

I like that chick that was swimming until that manatee or whale ate her up.

It is annoying, but I ignore it.

My reply to Helio company: "It is a damn phone and it's a piece of crap and has used MySpace as a feature on it. MySpace is teh ghey and I shall call it a phone if I wish to."

[Boku AKA Da Green Guy]

It pisses me off even more when the phrase "Myspace mobile" is said...

I hugging (self censored) hate myspace and can't help but think of all the lives lost by having such a stupid feature on a hugging (self censored) PHONE!

I wonder what would happen if you called the company and kept calling it a phone. Would they correct you? Would they get mad at you? Would they even care?

Those commercials are also subtly racist. They mocked the hell out of Asian culture, and the Asian kid was fine with it.


And even if you don't think they're racist, the commercials are still lamer than lame.

Those commericials are stupid. My friend recently got a Helio, and I was shocked to learn that it was actually just a normal phone. She says the Myspace mobile feature sucks anyway.

What about the couple making out in the diner and doing a lot of risque stuff. I believe that's illegal somewhat.

Eh, at least in one of those Vonage commercials you know the ditzy blonde beotch got eaten by a shark. Mwahaha.
Phone commercials just suck.

Why the hell do people want all these features on there phone. You use it to call people, dont need to get on the internet, watch TV, record videos, do your taxes, chop onions, whatever...

I guess the picture phone feature can be cool say if you see something weird or something though but god damn...

Yeah, I miss the days of a phone being a phone. Although, a buddy of mine with a camera phone got a picture of me with Mickie Knuckles, so I suppose I'm appreciative of that feature. Everything else, though, is pure retardation on a phone.

Hey the internet thing is useful. I can't count how many times that's kept me occupied on the bus or metro. It also allows me to read the ESPN articles that I want without wasting time at my computer.

[Joie De Vivre]

I can't wait until you can actually live inside a phone.

[Boku AKA Da Green Guy]

I keep saying that soon cell phones will only be available as special feature that will eventually phase out.

[Vice honcho room temperature]

Does it make phone calls?

If so its a freakin phone

No wonder people give me a headache.

[mysterydriver]

I really "Strongly Dislike" those commercials. It is a phone. Phone. Phone.

Argh. I hate Cell phones in general.
