Turning Political Hanky-Panky into Catchy Advertising

When you see an online article titled "Politicians Spanked by Virgin" you simply have to read it...


This from Al Kamen's "In the Loop" column at the Washington Post:

A photo of Spitzer, Love Client No. 9, has a bubble that says "I'm tired of being treated like a number."

Well, not to worry, gov'ner. "At Virgin Mobile, you're more than just a number," the ad says. "When you call us we'll treat you like a person, not a client. Whether you're #9 or #900, you'll get hooked up with somebody who'll finally treat you just how you want to be treated."

A Virgin ad last week focused on lower rates and featured Hillary Clinton with this thought bubble: "I wish my bill wasn't so out of control." Switching to Virgin Mobile's "no-con contracts" the ad says, will let you "finally put your bill back in its place," and show you "how you can get your bill to behave."
