The AT&T Shoe Guy...B.S., Right?
The guy in the commercial claims to give a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair of shoes his company sells. Curiously, the name of the company is never mentioned.

Either his marketing team is beyond idiotic, or there is no such company.

2. It could be that AT&T doesn't allow any other company to be
mentioned in their own marketing. It dilutes the effectiveness of the marketing. Always have 1 message at a time.

But then again, it could also be a fictional company. Of course AT&T is willing to lie to sell. What major corporation isn't?
