Comcast: “Don’t rough it!” Educational commercials for our kids

I’m not sure if Comcast plays this commercial everywhere or just in certain regions, but if you want to see something hilarious (depressing), watch the video:

I was unfazed by the ad until the end–I expected it to be a commercial promoting outdoor fun and that at the end the kids would forget about their phones and go swimming or play with bears.  Instead, Comcast tells us the kids are right and that we shouldn’t rough it!  Phew.  I’m glad we’re teaching our youth that it’s (a) okay to hate the outdoors and stay inside all day long, all summer long (b) okay to be a total brat to your counselor and stomp around like you own the world and (c) okay for elementary-aged kids to be completely dependent on TV, internet, and cell phones.  You know, priorities.

In related news, we’re moving and our Comcast gets shut off in two weeks.  So you can suck it, Fort Wayne “basic cable” that includes nothing but network channels, 3 home-shopping channels, CMT, and 8,000 24-hour Christian networks.  Although I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my encounters with DIAMONIQUE and the other highlights of Jewelry Television.  Especially when my workplace then acquired TWO clients on the same day named Diamonique.  Seriously.
