Yes. This was an actual ad, that ran for 6 years in different variations. Sometimes he was at the grand canyon. Sometimes he was in NYC. Sometimes he was in Montana's open countryside. One time he was at the effel tower in Paris, which made NO sense. But then they followed that a few years later with him floating in space.
Which at some point, it really should be called out for false advertising. Unless you're telling me I can get on a NASA rocket, blast off to space, and then call someone on my verizon serviced cell phone.
