GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

My cell phone service provider is GTE Wireless, which is now Verizon Wireless. GTE merged with Bell Atlantic into Verizon and created a formidable nationwide communications company. Back east, I had seen James Earl Jones doing Bell Atlantic commercials (ohhhh that voice!) and he’s now doing the Verizon ones, but I haven’t seen them nationwide yet. I’ve seen other commercials with people making two-finger “V” symbols. However, according to the press release about their ads “James Earl Jones, who served as the spokesperson for Bell Atlantic, will greet callers to Verizon’s national directory assistance.” I can just hear it: “Luke! Call your father.”
