Too Far From The Truth?

Although I am regrettably on my computer on my spring "break." Can I really be on a "break" while still totally connected to my technology? But because I am still plugged in despite being miles away from campus I have been able to see these two commercials for Virgin Mobile.





I am a little wierded out by the commercials but I have to question is it really that far away from the truth? I mean, when advertising companies create commercials it is to make their products more appealing to consumers. So, they obviously think that this stalkerish girlfriend character in the commercial will appeal to someone because they see that the way this character uses her phone is the same way that most adolescents use their phones these days. However, I still find the commercials extremely creepy because even if it is a bit of an over exaggeration the fact of the matter is it obviously exists otherwise they would never had created the commercial to begin with.
