Qwest: "Are You In?"

Qwest has a new slogan:

"Are you in?"

I'm not kidding. Guess they gave up on "Ride the Light" after they realized cellular phone connections involved large stretches on NON-FIBER-OPTIC COMMUNICATION.

As a replacement, they chose "Spirit of Service", but while on Nearly-Eternal-Hold with Qwest Customer Service, I heard the tag, "Are You In?". I asked the nice operator who eventually woke me up to verify that "Are You In?" is their new slogan.

"One of them," she admitted nervously, "Um, can I help you?"

I suggested that "Are You In?" could be one of several in a series of witty marketing slogans, and the next one can be, "Are you done?" and then "Are you sure?" or "Was it good for you?"

She didn't think it was that funny.


KTHXBYE,
