Why is it that

[ashling]

we're always hearing about militias and insurgents in Iraq communicating on their cellphones and I lose my signal when I walk down the street ???????? :shrug:

1. Dunno

I can't even get a signal in my house. :shrug: But I have tracfone and it SUCKS.

2. seems like the only logical course of action is to

ship whatever asshat came up with the "Can you hear me now" campaign to Gitmo for questioning.

and the tool who thought the hyperactive cheerleader using all the minutes commercial was a good idea.

in fact, anyone who has ever made an executive decision concerning cell phone ads at all should be waterboarded.

4. I'd like to know what the arabic equivalent is for "Can you Hear me NOW?"

6. al-jazeera wouldn't air those dumb-ass commercials...they have broadcast standards

3. LOL...

When I sit in the office I lose my signal if I lean too far to the left..apparently I've traveled out of my coverage area.

5. Allah gives them a stronger signal.
