Just saw this “butt dialing” commercial for the new T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl Flip. It’s pretty funny and true. Check it out: Dad- You might want to get this phone so you’ll stop calling me in the middle of meetings. Just a thought.

You know I’m a sucker for little kids and for funny ads, so these ads from Trigon BlueCross BlueShield were right up my alley. He kicked him where?! Hakuna Matata! Karate Kid [...]
