<title>Boost Mobile Turns Whiny Tweet into Ad</title>

<p>Your blood pressure probably has yet to drop since Kraft and CP+B turned tweets about Mac and Cheese <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy/kraft-mac-cheese-turns-to-twitter-for-tv-spot_b16322">into advertisements</a>. That date, March 28, will go down in history books alongside events like the Spanish Armada, the Liberation of France and the Day that Music Died.  Holy Cheeseasaurus Rex.</p>
<p>Well, 180LA and Boost Mobile (of &#8220;Where you at?&#8221; fame) are doing it again&#8230;but with a twist. Instead of turning complimentary/stupid tweets into advertising gold, Boost is using tweets of people complaining as the basis of its campaign. Who doesn&#8217;t love it when people complain over social networks? As 180 LA tells us, &#8220;The campaign is not just about &#8216;taking a tweet and making a spot.&#8217; It’s about Boost taking the anger and frustration that people are hurling at the wireless industry on the web and making it the voice of a marketing campaign.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Working Man&#8221; is one of three television spots to air for the campaign, with a full launch scheduled for May 16. By the way, that awesome song in the background is Aloe Blacc&#8217;s &#8220;I Need a Dollar,&#8221; which was most famously used as the theme song for HBO&#8217;s terrible, vapid but somehow very enjoyable series <em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sN49nNdE58">How to Make it in America</a>.</em> Credits after the jump.</p>
