advertising gone wild

[faceless_wonder]

i'm watching Rock of Love, and just saw an ad for AT&T Wireless "GoPhone" pay-as-you-go service. the ad was a bad knock off of the "sleep on it" section of "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" by Meat Loaf. i wasn't looking at the screen, but looked up instinctively, just to see.

it was a father singing to his son that sure, he'll get the GoPhone.

and the father looked kind of like Meat Loaf.

so i googled it.

the father was Meat Loaf.

and the mother who peeped in briefly?

Tiffany.

i'm going to go cry now.

I saw that commercial during Battlestar: Galactica on Friday, and my first thought (after "WTF CREEPY WHY MEATLOAF") was approximately "I guess they're aiming for the geeks who also like Rocky Horror?"
