AD LOVE (kinda): at&t

i am *shocked* that at&t would use such a BLATANT christo and jeanne-claude reference for their commercial. it's so obvious, there is actually a disclaimer at the end of the spot.

"the artists christo and jeanne-claude have no direct or indirect affiliation or involvement with at&t."
