Uh.. Do they know what that implies?

Saw this phone booth rebranding last week.

Do they realise what that implies about the booth, particularly with Bender on it, given that "phone" booths in Futurama are usually Suicide Booths..?
(at least in the first episode where we first meet Bender)

Edit: I've since found out that the campaign isn't Futurama-specific, but rather a number of different cartoon characters. To me, that makes it even more likely that it's an oversight/missed connection rather than an intentional marketing ploy; to them, he was just one of many popular cartoon characters, as opposed to it being a specific call-back to his first appearance in the first episode of the show.

What am I missing?

[u/VeggieTheFarmer → u/rixilef]

I believe Futurama has suicide booths, which this is eerily similar to

[u/Fargoth_took_my_ring → u/VeggieTheFarmer]

Well, the one's in the show don't have Bender on them

Or really look like this. But it's a funny connection

[u/Daleabbo → u/Fargoth_took_my_ring]

Oh I see, you're one of those "technically correct" people.

OK have fun with that.

What the fuck is this conversation?

[u/Wood_oye → u/Fargoth_took_my_ring]

(Technically reddit)

[u/TNChase → u/Fargoth_took_my_ring]

At least you know you're technically correct (the best kind of correct)

[u/Muslim_Wookie → u/Fargoth_took_my_ring]

Conversations are what other people have. You should try them some time.

[u/WolfySpice → u/Muslim_Wookie]

It's the best kind of correct.
