I’m not sure why I commented on YouTube. Here’s what I wrote about this Droid X “teaser.”

Perhaps it’s that I don’t like it when people front that makes me dislike this commercial. Perhaps it’s because I already think Verizon doesn’t care about their customers and likening them to robots doesn’t evoke any compassion. Aside: When did commercials get teasers?

While I’m presumably in the demographic audience for the Droid X and this “teaser” I don’t want a phone/computer that makes me into a robot.

Verizon’s Droid webpage, with Flash turned off.

… Oh god. I enabled Flash and it’s even worse. From a web design standpoint alone how does it even compare to this?
