That was SO 27 seconds ago, and 'because I am feeling richer' effect

I wish the legal system and doctor's offices worked at the speed of 4G like ATT but oh well.  These ads annoy me for several reasons.  First, try extracting your cell phone from your face.  If you are that desperate to get information that quickly, then something seems amiss in your 'real' life.  (That is unless you are a stock trader, entering a contest, or buying on Ebay.)  I remember a story a couple of years ago where in an English town they put padding around lamp posts because people were texting and walking into them.  Really?  I would have put a loud siren to scare them back to reality.  The only defense to these types of commercials is that the kid obviously knows math assuming he isn't using an app for that.
Then we have the feeling richer commercials.  Instead of 'driving a car like one owned by a hiphop star', how about 'paid off my child's tuition' or 'made a significant charitable contribution'?  No wonder so many kids (and adults) put so much value on materialistic stuff.

I don't get it...
