Verizonwireless is spamming my pic/vid blogging

Seems as if wireless carriers are finding as many ways to plug their advertising into our daily blogging lives.

Any time I post to this blog with a picture of video, I get this messages:

This message was sent using PIX-FLIX Messaging service from Verizon Wireless!

It's total bullsh*t. I don't want any extra stuff attached to my posts. I wouldn't mind a small little signature or something, but this is a bit ridiculous. I was reading on another blog that someone had the same beef and contacted VZW. Apparently, this crap was added for "legal reasons."

Yea, right. If you're reading this and are a VZW PR person, please log this "clip" as an official complaint. I've been a long time customer and have never had another carrier. As a matter of fact, I have successfully gotten friends and family to switch to Verizonwireless because of the reliability of the network. Because after all, you need a good signal to have 24/7 connectivity.

So Verizonwireless, why not give us the option to "opt out" of this legal crap your dumping on us or how about shortening the message just a tad.
