This Time If A Bell Rings At The Top, It May Be Ringing In A Phone Booth

Posted by John Carney, Sep 07, 2007, 12:33pm

privateequityphonebookringing.jpgWe’ve seen some pretty crazed advertisements in phone booths. One was for a consultant who would help you learn to operate your Apple computer. Since Apple’s interface is about as user-intuitive as it gets—it just works—if you can’t operate it on your own, you probably can’t use the phone to call the consultant either.

Financial Armageddon columnist Michael Panzner, though, came across an even more memorable phone booth ad. Click here for a larger version. And click here for his reaction.

Lay off my ads, I'm just try to fixed this whole carried interest debacle. The more average joes I can get believing that they have a chance in PE, the easier it will be to get the Dems off my back. It also doesn't hurt that I'm taking a bath in BX and need to make a little money on the side - - stone crabs ain't cheap.
