Dear Sprint,

I’ve mentioned my fascination with advertising-induced cognitive dissonance. There is also my advice to never go against what Oprah’s friends say. The same goes for recent interviews I’ve seen on the Colbert Report. (And by recent, I mean like 2 months ago. Or maybe even tomorrow, thanks to the WGA strike.)

So when Stephen’s guest Walter Krin was promoting his new piece, “The Autumn of the Multitaskers”, and then I saw your new ad, I was totally turned off. If Mr. Kirn says multitasking is f-ing up my life, why do I want to buy your phone? Does anyone research new trends before making ads??

Love,

KR
