Last night I was watching something and this Vonage commercial came on. I've seen it probably dozens of times before, but this was the first time I actually "watched" it. Can I just say that Vonage has chosen the biggest bunch of nerds, geeks, dweebs, gamers, losers and loners to be their "Customer Spokesmodels" I've ever seen. No wonder Vonage is in deep trouble with their finances and legal troubles.
Don't get me wrong, I'm basically nothing more than a cool-nerd at best, but the last thing I'd ever expect is for some company to make me their TV image. The last guy they air on the commercial says something to the effect of, "...people don't even know I'm on VOIP...". Okay, seriously, dude, it's time to step out of the World of Warcraft and join the rest of society. After looking at that guy, does he even need Vonage (or any phone, for that matter)? It's not like anybody other than his mom is calling him.
I'm certain that I'm making all sorts of people mad about this, but when Vonage first came out, I was thinking that it might be kinda cool to have, but clearly the only people interested in getting Vonage now are the types that are already spending way, WAY too much time on their computers.
Here's a tip...if you've got stock in Vonage that's worth anything...sell now.
