We’ve all seen the funny Alltel Wireless commercials that, at times, have you rolling at the borderline guerilla marketing/advertising they are doing against the competition. In case you live under a rock, here is one of the commercials:
As I do almost daily, I browse around myspace to see what’s the latest and the greatest. On my homepage of myspace, I see “Wireless Thugz” advertisement.
w/ a Video to go along with the whole shananigans:
I didn’t know whether to laugh or be offended at the obvious mockery of Hip Hop, but I choose to laugh because the world is full of much more important things to be mad or upset at a silly ass commerical or promo campaign. Besides, it’s kind of commical. However, they are walking a fine line, and I hope they know that they are.

Well, I can see where you say it’s borderline but i think they are just spoofing so no harm no foul?
