We’d offer a BRAD BLOG T-Shirt to the first person who can name the two folks voicing the characters in the following “Net Neutrality” video posted this week by SaveTheInternet.com as a farewell gift to AT&T’s now-former CEO Ed Whitacre. But as the company who made our shirts recently moved, and are in the process of putting together a new version of the shirt, we can’t do that yet.
Instead, our “congratulations for a job well done” will have to do for whoever can identify the voices and post them in comments here. (Anybody who knows beforehand is disqualified!) Suffice it to say, both the man and the woman’s voice should be very well known to readers of The BRAD BLOG.
Enjoy, and please spread the word!
UPDATE 1:11pm PT: What? Nobody’s got a single guess??? Say it ain’t so…
UPDATE 4:24pm PT: Comments were broken! No wonder nobody left a guess! Now fixed! If you tried to leave a comment previously, please try again!
UPDATE 6/13/07: One cat now out of the bag. The guy playing “Big Ed Whitacre” is me. The female voice remains elusive apparently. 🙂
OK I’ll take a guess. The male voice sounds like you Brad at the beginning but then it sounds like Lewis Black 🙂 The lady I ‘ll guess is your gf Des
All I will say is that it’s neither Lewis Black nor Des.
How about Brad and Bree Walker?
Wayne #3 –
Nope.
It’s Brad and Elizabeth Taylor. 😛
That didn’t sound like you, Brad. Nice accent. My guess for the lady is… Hmmmm… Bev Harris? Unlikely, but it kind of sounds like her.
Okay, since so many have guessed it, I’ll confirm that yes, the guy (Big Ed) is played by me.
So we’re half way there. But none of the guesses so far for the women are correct. HINT: She’s well known among Progressives *and* among many television watchers…
I know I already guessed, but I noticed the other day that the woman sounds almost identical to the fairy god mother on the cartoon “Fairly Odd Parents”. You could easily confuse the two.
