GoPhone Nelly Ad for Acetone on 611

[tzsm98]

I almost dropped my N78-3 after buying some MEdiaNet bytes and my monthly messaging package. I heard
"Yo, Whatzup, This is Nelly make your phone your own. Put some acetone on your phone."
When given the opportunity I requested acetone. The robo speech parser couldn't understand me. The robo 611 lady offered to put me through to an operator but knowing that I might melt some of the delicate plastic pieces opted out and hung up. Now I'll never know how they deliver acetone over the 3G network.

This is the strangest thing I heard all day!

This is the strangest thing I heard all day!
Then you haven't listened to the Nelly ad as of yet!

[Guaner]

No, not yet. But I'm keeping my eyes and ears open in anticipation! :D

[tzsm98]

That explains everything. Thank you.

After carefully relistening to the ad and consulting with some teenagers it develops that Nelly has a diction issue. He apparently is selling "Answer tones"; he wants us to make our phones our own by putting someone else's music on them.

A curious concept isn't it? A more appropriate way to make our phones our own would be to remove the SIM lock, uncripple the hardware and give us access to legitimate modding software.

That is what I was thinking. :D
