car ads are the worst.

can you picture this ?
guy at a dealer is filling out a questionaire.
when he gets to the part about why he chose their dealership.

he answers, "because you screamed at me on the radio."

holy crap.
i heard that one day recently and thought it was an audio snafu.
but later i saw and heard it.
and realized it was for real.

makes you want to take a baseball bat and apply it to the producers forehead.

I don't know if I am just more aware of them, or the volume of advertisments has increased - but i feel like no matter what I'm doing (except riding), there is some advertisement being thrown in my face.

I'm so sick of everything being shoved down our throats, but I also wonder who the people are that these things actually work on. I can count on one hand the number of products that I've tried in my life becasue the comercial got me interested in them...

You'd b surprised at how well advertising works. It's no surprise that the companies that spend the most, make the most.

i rarely listen to commercial radio... yesterday i turned it on for a couple of hours becasue i felt like punishing myself... painful... most of the time i listen to internet radio from australia... interesting, just general talk about anything and everything.... DJs invite people to call in and discuss any number of topics...

NPR is great for sure... i m prolly gonna look at getting sirius for the car or house... these sacramento radio stations are balls...
