The phone company Straight Talk has put out an ad campaign about how their phones and services make their customers feel richer than they really are. These ads have been deemed inappropriate, comical, and many other things. Above all they are extremely sarcastic. They not only poke fun at those who are purchasing their products, but they are also doing the same thing to the people that they are assuming their customers are becoming. The rich are stereotyped and put into a nice little box that describes who they are. Straight Talk painted a picture of the wealthy that shows they are SUV driving, large jewelry owning, small dog carrying people who have not a care in the world. Sure this can be seen as offensive but with the sarcastic, funny vibe Straight Talk added it is nothing but laughs.
