It's one thing to see some 3-man startup with nothing but embeds to YouTube in their own "unique" page format, but to see a company like AT&T doing it is downright embarrassing (for them). Of course the AT&T brand has been traded around so much (tempting to make an off-color joke here) that there is nothing left of the original company. I guess us older folk who remember the history should just get over it.
