SERVICE: Verizon Ads

Thursday, October 6, 2011
Dear Valued Customer,                                                                                                                   en español

Your privacy is an important priority at Verizon. We want to let you know that Verizon will soon participate in a program that will improve the ability of advertisers to reach our Verizon Online customers based on your physical address. The goal is to provide online ads that may be more relevant to you.

This program uses your address to determine whether you reside in a local area an advertiser is trying to reach. However, Verizon won’t share your address with advertisers as part of this process. Advertisers won’t know it’s you specifically or where you actually live. If you do not want us to allow advertisers to send you ads based on your geographic area you can let us know by selecting here.

What does this mean for you?

Certain ads you’ll see while browsing the Internet may be directed to you and other Verizon Online customers in your area, so these ads may be of more interest to you. For example, a pizza chain may want to deliver their ad to give a special offer to people living in a particular area. Using this program, national brands and local businesses can tailor their offers, coupons, and incentives to your local area.

Protection of Your Personal Information

Verizon protects your personal information as described in our privacy policy. You can learn about Verizon’s ad practices or let us know that you do not want to participate by selecting here. If you don’t want to participate, you will need your User ID and Password to access the opt-out page. Please note that declining to participate won’t impact the number of ads you see, just their potential relevance to you.

For answers to your frequently asked questions, select here.

Sincerely,

Verizon

“Your privacy is an important priority at Verizon.”

Yeah, right.

Deliver ads?

I don’t use any Verizon “online” services so how are they going to “serve” me ads?

Another confused “offering”?

RANT: Add Freeman to the “Jane Fonda” list

Morgan Freeman Not So Color Blind As I Thought
by Brad Schaeffer

*** begin quote ***

Morgan Freeman is a truly gifted actor and a highly intelligent man who has starred brilliantly in a litany of my all-time favorite films from Glory to The Shawshank Redemption, to Unforgiven, just to name a few. But I think when it comes to race relations he is doing a disservice to his country and his own people (I guess we can put his race back on the table after all, 60 Minutes reprimands notwithstanding). He has resorted to the ugly charge of racism because things are not going his way on the political scene. This is all the more disappointing because in this country today we have very real divisions, the roots of which stem from diametrically opposing visions of what sort of nation we wish to be in the future. The last thing we need is to stoke the fires of unsubstantiated race-baiting when it is policy, not pigment, that is at the heart of the growing opposition to Barack Obama’s presidency.

*** end quote ***

Decades ago, after Jane Fonda climbed into the North Viet Nam anti-aircraft gun, I resolved, and have never watched ANYTHING about or by Jane Fonda. She, as does everyone, has the right to free speech. Also, I too have a right to free speech and a right to boycott her.

Over time, I’ve put others on that “list” — Roseanne Barr, Rosie O’Donnell, Alex Baldwin, Janeane Garofalo — of with whom I choose not to support or spend my money on.

For this diatribe, sadly, I’m adding Morgan Freeman to that list!

Sean Penn’s just a pinhead. Avatar was a cartoon! Matt Damon and George Clooney aren’t too bad; but Damon is getting close. Anything by Michael Moore or anything he says is suspect as “liberal” (in the bad sense) propaganda.

“Box Office Nightmare: Majority of GOPers Reject Movies Because of Liberal Stars… ” Drudge’s slug doesn’t really reflect the tenor of the article. I clicked over expecting to see folks that should be on my list but aren’t. Didn’t find that.
