Remains of the Day: Ad nauseam

05.02.2011
It's Super Bowl weekend, and you know what that means: commercials, commercials, commercials. Verizon and AT&T are lobbing shells at each other via ads, while Motorola is prepping a familiar-looking spot for its Xoom tablet. Also, what do doctors and leopards have in common? Strangely enough, the iPad. The remainders for Friday, February 4, 2011 will return after these messages.

Sure, Verizon got a dig in at AT&T's expense , but that doesn't mean it gets the last laugh. AT&T has retaliated with a spot touting its iPhone's ability to handle voice and data simultaneously, sending an important message to consumers that AT&T is the network for schlubby guys who forget their anniversaries. .

A brief taste of the Super Bowl spot for Motorola's forthcoming Android-based Xoom tablet has definite hints of Apple's classic 1984 commercial (look no further than the e-book the guy's reading or what the mindless drones are wearing). Because imitation is the sincerest form of, uh, inspiration.
