I am too much of a dork to watch action movies

[sm1else]

OK, all this product placement in movies just has to stop, because I am too much of a dork to not think it's part of the story. I saw Fantastic 4 yesterday, which takes place in New York. One of the characters picked up a payphone with an SBC logo on it outside his girlfriend's quaint flat, and I thought, "OK, what the hell is he doing in San Francisco?" Two scenes later he is saving the world from the BQE on on the other coast and his girlfriend shows up. I thought, "my God, that was fast. How did they get there so quickly from San Francisco?" 'Cause, you see...SBC doesn't have a local telephone presence in New York. That would be Verizon. Aaaauuugh. I'm a dork.

Then again, this movie is set in the future and SBC just gobbled up AT&T. Hmmm...maybe Verizon's next. Perhaps I should buy some SBC stock.

I have to work today. Soooo not happy about that. Gotta go.
