ALLTEL HELPS FEED
DOBE STEREOTYPES. Arkansas-based
Alltel Corporation just
launched a television campaign that negatively portrays the Doberman
Pinscher. In response to complaints from numerous advocates for the breed,
including the president of the Doberman Pinscher Club of America, Alltel
distributed various versions of the following message:
"Thank you for
writing to express your concern about Alltel's new TV spot that includes a
Doberman Pinscher. The Doberman Pinscher in our ad is a well-behaved animal
actor playing a fictional role, just as human actors often play roles that
are opposite their true personalities. We are not suggesting that Doberman
Pinschers are a vicious breed."
If you feel this
answer is as lame as we do than express yourself! We urge you to send an
email to Paul Sage, Alltel's director of marketing communications at
paul.sage@alltel.com
