Boost Mobile’s ‘Come to Data’ Ad Campaign Is Pervy and Totally Ungodly


Your inner barbarian tells you it's quite all right to use your mobile phone anytime, anywhere. Play that dice game at the urinal? Sure, even though it requires vigorous arm-shaking motions that make you look like a perv in such a setting. Schmuck don't care! Unlimited data, people!



Boost Mobile encourages all manner of loutish phone behavior with new digital ads from 180LA that use a suggestive tagline, "Come to data," along with a creepy, salacious "voice in your head" narration. Or maybe the brand is just acknowledging what's already happening when users can't tear themselves away from their devices even long enough to tinkle without distraction or listen to a confession. (Who has to do the penance in the latter case—the sinner or the priest?)


There are Vines and short videos in the campaign, which may serve as inspiration for the uncouth or cautionary tales for the mannerly, and could've been called, "Decorum is so overrated."
