I wish I could get more involved than I am. As it stands, I’m buying a few random things here and there that I don’t really need, just because they’re (RED). I’d really like to get (AMEX) RED but it’s only offered in the UK. I think I bitched about this before on here, but it’s still annoying. If I had (AMEX) RED I’d be contributing hundreds of dollars a year, just based on my standard purchases. ANYWAY, watch the

(RED) One Year Anniversary Video

because it’s cool. And then JOIN (RED) if you’re not already involved.

So, I made sure to make my e-mail to Verizon much more specific. I complained about making the world a better place, leading the nation in an amazing movement, and even mentioned contributing to the Global Fund.

The highlight of the response I got, which was mostly about surcharges I can incur on my account (calling 411, going over my text messaging limit, sending Picture messages, etc.) simply astounds me.

“Jesse, keep in mind we do offer the Motorola Krazer Fire phone. This is a red wireless phone.”
 There are no words.

Sprint customers, Buy a (MOTO) RED! I would get one, but Verizon doesn’t offer them. Bastards. I’ve already sent a nasty email.
UK dwellers, get (AMEX) RED!! …. Yes, American Express offers this card exclusively in the UK. Explain that one! The Indian customer service lady I called certainly couldn’t. She offered me a Star rewards card for travel rewards instead, since that card (literally) is red. Uh, kinda not there point there, sweetheart.
iPod (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition! Wewt mine’s almost here. Or, buy an iTunes PRODUCT (RED) Gift Card for yourself or someone you know!
And go buy some cool clothes from (GAP) RED.

EDIT: Let me know if you upgrade yourself to (YOU) RED before or after reading this post.
