Chocolate (a black phone from Verizon)

Lgchocolate2thumbOk, I know I have been on a bit of a mobile phone rampage lately, but why am I the only one that finds Verizon Wireless' Chocolate phone a complete marketing blunder. Why isn't this phone brown?  In the words of Mr. Mugatu, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

The ad shows a fancy animation of a phone being unwrapped like a candy bar, only to reveal a...BLACK phone called...CHOCOLATE. WTF?

I predict their next model will be called Orange. The ad will feature a peeling orange that reveals a new...shiny...olive green (worst crayola color ever) phone-ie gadget. Fact...did you know that according to BtoB Magazine, 3 of the top 10 advertisers online and offline combined are Mobile Phone Companies?  A combined $1billion (yes billion with a B) in spending.  For all that money, you would think someone would have at least raised a hand and said, "...but its black". GYST Verizon.

Almost done posting about phones...maybe 1 or 2 more.
