Am I the only one that thinks the new "It's the network" series of commercials for Verizon Wireless are actually more annoying than the old "Can you hear me now?" commercials?

Update: Okay, I am forced to admit to a redeeming quality of these commercials. Tom's passionate defense of them as funny via IM made me laugh. "Perhaps goth angst doesn't translate to Texan" has to be the IM quote of the day.
