Default Re: Your Help Needed Please for my new Full Page ad - 05-15-2008, 11:28 AM

Hi Wayne,

I think the ad is much improved. But, I'd be holding back if I didn't voice objection to the "Free at last!" headline. It is catchy and tempting to use...

However, taking a famous historical quote from a slain civil rights leader and blasting it to pawn free long distance is, IMHO, distasteful.

Maybe I'm being touchy, but as a middle aged white man whose never faced racial prejudice of any kind, I can't help but be sensitive to it. LOL. I jest, but I do consider the phrase off limits to kitschy exploitation.

Maybe others will chime in on this to help you guage.
