I finally saw this horrid Verizon ad this evening (7:15pm CST), during "Star Trek: ENTERPRISE" on our UPN station (Channel 50 here in Chicagoland). I was definitely upset. It had no rhyme or reason, other than to put ferrets in a negative light. They could have shown the emergency usage of Verizon's phones, by the guy getting locked in the bathroom, closet, or something similar for gosh sakes! If they wanted an element of humor in the ad, there are plenty of other ways. This ad with the ferret wasn't even cute, let alone funny. I'm definitely contacting Verizon, and putting my two sense in. At least I don't use Verizon or any product they offer. Phyllis [Posted in FML issue 3875]
