Amazing AT&T Billboard hacks in California
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 27, 2008
San Francisco, CA

The Billboard Liberation Front today announced a major new advertising improvement campaign executed on behalf of clients AT&T and the National Security Agency. Focusing on billboards in the San Francisco area, this improvement action is designed to promote and celebrate the innovative collaboration of these two global communications giants.

“This campaign is an extraordinary rendition of a public-private partnership,” observed BLF spokesperson Blank DeCoverly. “These two titans of telecom have a long and intimate relationship, dating back to the age of the telegraph. In these dark days of Terrorism, that should be a comfort to every law-abiding citizen with nothing to hide.”

AT&T initially downplayed its heroic efforts in the War on Terror, preferring to serve in silence behind the scenes. “But then we realized we had a PR win on our hands,” noted AT&T V.P. of Homeland Security James Croppy. “Not only were we helping NSA cut through the cumbersome red tape of the FISA system, we were also helping our customers by handing over their e-mails and phone records to the government. Modern life is so hectic – who has time to cc the feds on every message? It’s a great example of how we anticipate our customers’ needs and act on them. And, it should be pointed out, we offered this service free of charge.”

12. Blank Decoverly is a Catch-22 reference...
he was Major _____ DeCoverly - the guy who destroyed "The Great Loyalty Oath Campaign" by refusing to sign the oath. He did this by simply saying "Gimme Eat." when he was presented with an oath to sign in the mess hall line.

The liberation front gets my vote! This whole country is now one big Catch-22.

15. I caught that reference and had a giggle over it. Great book.
Might be worth a revisit; I read it in college which was a LONG time ago now.

13. "AT&T. Your World. Delivered. To the NSA."
That was the best comment on the YouTube video--absolutely brilliant!

(Wish *I* were that witty!)

I'm joining this group...! This is great!

Thanks so much for posting--I have a new purpose in life!
