The new Facebook share button on the HTC Status phone turns Blink-182 blue in this new AT&T ad from BBDO in New York. Their Smurfy glow mimics what the button does whenever you have something to share, like a new photo. Sadly, it can't explain why guys in the band are gardening. This reminds me of when Blink-182 was sponsored by T-Mobile, and Tom was, perhaps in compliance with the contract, constantly showing off a Sidekick he didn't know how to use.
