Nice ad placement

The short commercial for Sprint, before the video, is a nice touch. Is there a news story that goes with this clip?

(Also wondering -- just how does a cell tower catch fire, anyway?)

How a cell tower catches on fire

You build it out of wood, then put it next to Bob's BBQ Pit.

Or, a spark from a welder's torch sets it ablaze.

Clears that up

Tooling down the VFW in the early p.m., I got a cell call at a light, but couldn't connect to answer. I pulled over a got LOOKING FOR SERVICE. I peeked on the way to Woodbourne. I didn't get a signal for a mile or more.

I get it now. Thanks.
