New Nortel Ad Campaign: it is just da bomb!

I’ve long been critical of Nortel’s misguided ad slogans… Remember “What do you want the internet to be?” (Tell us, cuz we sure don’t know!) “This is the way>> This is Nortel” (sounds too much like There’s the right way, then there’s Nortel..) How about the prophetic, “Business Without Boundaries” (SEC rules?? What SEC rules??). Who can forget the Beatles inspired “.com together” campaign? (just before the “bubble .com apart” campaign).

Well they’re at it again! Copyranter brings us this banner ad at Chicago’s O’Hare airport… duh.

    Nortel needs ScanScout to avoid future unfortunate ad placements:

    That’s funny. Top of mind with most Americans?

    In the list of top things not to do at an Airport with security. Make jokes about bombs. If you see this ad, do your best to ignore it, whatever you do, do not mumble the words, bomb, explosion, or Hyper Connectivity!

    Went to http://hyperconnectivity.com/
    The link to the blog doesn’t seem to work, is this blog part of Nortel’s Hyper Connectivity?
