The Pitch – Are you curbing spending this holiday season?

Are you going to slow down on spending this year?
Question:
Christmas and the rest of the holiday season is just around the corner. Do you plan on spending less this year than last year?
Answer:
I am likely not going to be buying as much this year as last year. I was considering giving family members cookie tins rather than gifts they may or may not like. I also find that homemade cookies are a bit more thoughtful than a cheap gift set of bath fizzies from Target or Wal-Mart could be. I am investing my time into the cookies rather than mindlessly shopping for a “coverall” gift.

Verizon ignores AT&T lawsuit and introduces more “map” ads

The first (pictured above) is a take on Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer’s Island of Misfit Toys. There, the iPhone is sent to the island, not because it is a bad device, but because it’s power and abilities are crippled by the AT&T Network.
The second:
The Third:
As you can see they are all geared toward Christmas and the holiday season.
I find them to be quite festive and actually in good taste; they aren’t attacking the iPhone but the actual AT&T Network. Expect to see a lot of them in the coming weeks.
