Sprint has a new commercial on tv that I think is great. In it there is some corporate executive sitting at his office when his assistant walks in. The dialogue is something like
Executive: I like Sprint's new fair and flexible plan. It offers me flexibility .... It's my way of sticking it to the man!Assistant: But sir, you are the man.
Executive: Yes.
Assistant: So you're sticking it to yourself?
Executive: Maybe.
It's quite amusing how media, entertainment, and marketing have thoroughly embraced the counterculture and anti-establishment message of decades past and now use it to promote establishment products and services. We can "stick it to the man" by using Sprint cellular service. It's incredibly silly, but at the same time, pretty funny.
