As you might have read, I continue to anguish about who will win my cell phone business. As of yesterday, Cingular has turned on a new "GSM only" tower at a college about 1.5 miles away. There's a chance it's blocked by a hill, but probably not. I can get a pretty good deal with Cingular, though I'm unsure of its current GSM coverage. Without coverage here in my house, there's no deal.

But, I digress.

I was watching TV and a T-Mobile cell spot came. They were selling phones with built-in cameras (someday in the future, I will look back at this blog entry and find it quaint), which of course is the current big deal. But, the two locations used for photos were a locker room and a concert hall!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but should we be encouraging people to take pictures in locker rooms? Even concert halls usually ban any kind of photography.

Of course, maybe this is their point. to try and build the market by giving us fresh idea in how to be invasive.
