AT&T Commercial - "Stunts"

In its continued attempt to be "edgy" AT&T does pretty creepy commercials. This is one of the creepiest. This mother in attempt to enjoy her five minutes of borrowed fame, after belittling her son, subtly encourages him to perform stunts which are more dangerous and may even kill him. But as she says, it will "make your dad and me proud." Not only is this commercial sick, but I don't understand how it relates to "Now everyone's up to speed." Up to speed on what? Wasting your day watching viral videos?

P.S. I don't really even understand what she's saying. What does she mean, "and only three lights"?

  1. Only three "LIKES," as in the Face Thing. Not "lights."

  2. Interesting. And it points out one of my other main complaints today. Nobody enunciates. These people are paid to speak and the don't speak clearly. There are several commercials where I can't make out what they are saying. Thanks.
