Verizon's New Phone Ad: Boycott Verizon 

Posted 07/20/2008

Verizon is currently running an ad showing two aggressive looking/acting pit bulls.  It is disgusting to see pit bulls portrayed this way on a national ad campaign.  We are asking everyone to please call and/or write Verizon asking them to pull the ad, as it is not promoting pit bulls in a good light and in fact perpetuating the stereotypical image of this most misunderstood dog.
