ATLANTA Boone/Oakley is set to launch its first work for Dialog Tele-
communications that uses humor to promote the company’s local and long-distance services.

“Super Bowl,” “Wife,” “Milli Vanilli” and “Neverland Ranch” make light of the Janet Jackson halftime show fiasco, cross-dressing, lip-synching and another Jackson family member, to convey the message that being charged extra for phone services is, like the aforementioned jokes, not laughable.
