  Verizon Pulls Pit Commercial Reply Contact Via MySpace: I need to thank my Rescue Partner Steve Sacchitelli for his incredible work in getting this terrible portrayal of the American pit bull terrier pulled off the air In a message dated 7/22/2008 7:30:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Stevesach32 writes: "I just got off the phone with Scott Armstrong at Verizon who is someone in Marketing with considerable pull They have pulled the ad. I'm not a big Verizon fan by any stretch, but I have to say that the 5 or 6 underlings I had to threaten to get to Scott were most professional, as was Scott himself who followed up with me several times They genuinely seemed to have no idea the fire they were fueling. Good work to everyone that called - they got the message and acted quickly. I only wish my calls to the White House were so productive. " -steve S. Steve is a former Executive at MTV and Logo, and has worked with many fortune 500 Co's. on ad campaigns. He is also my partner in just about everything pertaining to Dog rescue and Dog Rehabilitation.., Steve has left his position in an effort to concentrate more on Creative Writing projects, Ghostwriting, Promotional ad and web copy, Branding strategy, studies or justifications and journalistic pieces. If you ore your employer has any type of writing work needed., please consider Steve. Steve's Marketing and promotional background was very effective in getting him past the " we will call you backs" and locked doors at Verizon, and his many hrs on the phone along with your emails has certainly paid off this time Congrats to Verizon for actually acting on this Please say Thanks to Steve with a short email, for his efforts in effectively removing this ad campaign with the help of all of you Email: Stevesach32@aol.com Sunshine Girl

  Re: Verizon Pulls Pit Commercial Reply Contact It's about time... This commercial bothered me the first time I watched it. :/ "Was he cool?" L's question came completely out of left field, and he was forced to ask it a second time before Misora answered, still unable to work out what he was driving at. "No, absolutely not," she said, honestly. "Creepy and pathetic, and so suspicious that if I weren't on leave, I'd move to arrest him the moment I laid eyes on him. If we divided everyone in the world into those that would be better off dead and those that wouldn't, there's no doubt in my mind that he'd be the former. Such a complete freak that it amazes me he hasn't killed himself." "..." There was no answer.
