Didn’t Cingular already use “Back in Black” for their black RAZR commercial? I swear I didn’t imagine it . . .

That figures, I mean Cingular is in Atlanta, and everything in Atlanta is great, smart, etc…

PS. Note to self, watch more TV before posting on Om’s, tic.

PPS. Has any carrier used a song from the Donna’s yet? Maybe Boost?

Donna’s would be more Virgin Mobile. Boost is all about hip-hop.
