Don’t pick up, it’s Jack Bauer

If there’s one person we don’t want on the other end of our cell phone it’s Jack Bauer. He’s never calling to ask you out to dinner, swing by with beer or just say “Hi.” If you’re getting a call from Jack, you’re not long for this world.

Verizon takes the opposite tack, however, and thinks you’ll want Jack’s velvety voice on your line, which is why “24: Conspiracy”, an original, mobile-only production, debuted Monday. Like we told you last year, the very-small-screen show will unfold over 24, 1-minute “mobisodes.”

Verizon’s charging $15 per month for access to the show and 300 video clips.
