[comp.dcom.telecom] AT&T's "One World. One Card." Ad

cramer@uunet.uu.net> (04/07/90)

Do you ever wonder how much in touch with Middle America advertising
executives are?  My wife and I saw a pretty impressive demonstration
that AT&T's aren't in touch.  AT&T is pushing their international
calling card with the phrase "One World.  One Card."  Are they unaware
of how many Americans (and I suspect more than a few Canadians) are
going to start from the phrase, and look for "666" somewhere on the
cards?

Someone needs to get word to AT&T that this is going to make Proctor &
Gamble's problems seem pretty minor -- especially since such a minor
change in phrasing would do so much to avoid these problems.  "One
card calls the whole world."
