LeBron and W+K Are Very Impressed by Verizon’s New Data Plan

Verizon knows data. For example, they know that they made a lot of money off the extended data pack we purchased for our recent weeklong trip to France. WOW, foreign travel runs up the gigabytes!

Anyway, the telecom giant launched two new spots by corporate AOR Wieden+Kennedy today in order to promote its new data plan to two crucial demographics: LeBron fans and parents.

In the first ad “Not Studying with LeBron James,” the newly-crowned NBA champion warns a student not to act like he’s doing work when he’s actually checking out the man’s sweet moves. Even LeBron can’t seem to resist staring at himself.

Physics and basketball! We get it. But what’s with the Indiana Jones hat?

The next spot is a bit more effective in illustrating a very real and very frightening problem: young kids and their data-hungry dependence on tablets.

We have never watched Yo Gabba Gabba for obvious reasons, but those things looked like baseball team mascots on acid.

One thing the ads didn’t mention: the price of your Verizon plan is about to go up by $5-10 per month whether you opt for more data or not.

Meanwhile, the company continues to dominate all competitors just like the Warriors will next season with Kevin Durant. (We know nothing about basketball.)
