Verizon,
I am disappointed in the new commercial your company is airing. It insinuates that nerdy people have trouble finding relationships. This is simply not true. Nerdy people, along with anyone else, can form meaningful relationships, if they so choose.
Also, what if a person doesn’t want a relationship? People choose not to tether themselves to another individual all the time.
Your commercial is also misogynistic. Saying that a woman would not appreciate, and in fact, may get angry over the fact that you are presenting her a gift that you got a deal on is just disgusting. You are portraying women as vapid, shallow creatures who judge their partners by how much money is spent on them.
I’m hugely disappointed in you, Verizon. I hope you will discontinue airing this commercial in favor of promoting a more all-encompassing view.
Sincerely,
A Non-vapid and -shallow Nerdy Woman in a Meaningful Relationship with a Fellow Nerd
