Protesting works, and what a waste of Super Bowl ad money. That did not go as planned. I mean, really, turn your camera into surveillance to find a tiny amount of list dogs when having the pet microchipped would be more effective?

@CStamp I haven't seen the original ring commercial, but I think I got the gist from hearing about it. I found this competitors response in the form of a parody interesting:

@michaelrussell That is so good. What a great way to take advantage of a competitor’s faux pas.

Yeah, you can look it up, but the ad was an attempt to manipulate via a little girl and a dog. And it made no sense with regards to finding dogs. 10 million are lost each year and Ring finds one a day? Not even a drop on the bucket. Microchip your pet or do one of the things mentioned in this counter ad.
