Two phone companies are working to bring 4G cell phone service to The Moon. What about all the parts of the United States, including within major cities like Los Angeles, that don’t have decent reception? Not as sexy as a frozen lifeless rock.

In the vacuum of space, no one can hear you scream (since you missed your monthly payment you Earth rube!)
A cellphone without reception is little more than a lifeless rock.
Maybe these cellphone companies are trying to improve the profile of their signal-less lifeless rocks by romanticizing them by association with the moon.
Perhaps poor mobile phone reception is a positive factor in allowing people to get some work done, Ted ? Every cloud and all that sort of thing ?… 😉

Soon, we’ll be traveling light years
to find logos for lite beers
emblazoned on the moon
And soon, they’ll be marketing sunsets
in the shape of cigarettes
to babies on the moon
And soon, when the dimple in your face
is an advertising space
contorted by cartoons
There won’t be a thing to stop these creeps
from fucking up our sleep
with slogans from the moon
Don’t break the perfect picket light
When the moon man goes on strike,
stand steady with the moon
And don’t buy your moonlight at the mall
Don’t buy anything at all,
especially from the moon
And don’t be respectful to your boss
Don’t believe in Nafta Claus,
that elliptical tycoon
Until the idea of ownership’s been totally eclipsed,
and there’s nothing on the moon
