In pointing me to this rant about Alltel’s ads, my editor prefaced it by warning me that “someone really doesn’t like Chad.” What he should have said is that someone has way, way too much time on his hands. Whoever “Future Man” is, he’s put together an exhaustive and furious screed condemning the ad character’s myriad failings, with corresponding video evidence. It’s an impressive effort, but I haven’t been witness to this much misdirected hate since I stopped listening to AM radio.
