Could Telstra Find Nobody Better Than Rebecca Black To Spruik 4G?

Gizmodo AU

Telstra’s launching its ’4G’ LTE service today, and that means, amongst a blitz of high-speed technology, there’s also a blitz of publicity. As we noted last week, Telstra’s flying Rebecca Black out for publicity purposes — and it turns out it’s for 4G. Why, Telstra, why? I’ve been enjoying LTE so far… up until now. [Telstra]

    You’d think if they were going to use Rebecca Black for the ’4G’ release then they would at least do it on a Friday…

    I heard that they have rewritten Friday to suit the launch. The new lyrics are: It’s faster, faster. 4G on Telstra is faster. We can now fly through the internet. Vodafone, vodafone. Sucks! Vodafone, vodafone. Sucks! Sucks, sucks, sucks and Optus doesn’t really care.

    I get the theme they are going for (they were also spamming Sunrise this morning), viral video stars, and videos need fast internet. Rebecca Black though, seriously, it is viral for the WRONG reason. I wonder when she will finally realise people are laughing AT her, not WITH her.

      I wouldn’t be opposed to making my fortune from people laughing at me not with me. Plus, fame is fame to these young girls. They’ll take it however they can get it!

        for the $$ she made I’d handle the interwebs laughing at me. I mean I spent most of my school years being laughed at and never made a cent…..

    Maybe we’ve misunderstood the purpose of flying her out. Maybe she’ll be released into a national park with a surgically implanted 4G GPS locator and we get to cross bow hunt her.

    Telstra might be saying “Look we choose the worst spokesperson in the world….. but we are still better than Vodafone”

    She’s the new Manchurian candidate I think, hopefully.
