AT&T’s White Yeti
Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 24th, 2008
I’ll say it again. Hollywood and mythical Yetis are white, but the real ones reported by Sherpas, Nepalese, Tibetans, and other locals are brownish-red to black.
Oh well, it’s harmless enough, I suppose. I would recommend they run this again, late in December.

Yeti should be brown or dark in color as they are reported, but I suppose that depicting these darker creatures in a snowy habitat might be a bit jarring to audiences.
But, I do love these AT&T commercials, and I loved the heroic Yeti in “The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.” In fact, IMO, they were the best part of that movie!
Yes, the Yeti in Tomb of the Dragon Emperor were enough for me to recommend the movie to others. It was nice to see the Yeti (and, hopefully, its cousins across the pond) portrayed in a very positive light.
It’s hopeless, the cultural meme forces us to think of Yetis as white, and Nessie as a plesiosaur.
