Next one was from Smokey Bear about preventing wildfires. And just niw, one from Lets Move. Will keep updating.
The last two were from Goodwill/Ad Council and then Feed the Pig/Ad Council. Drip, drip, drip goes our money.
I’ve heard most of those are run for free as tribute to the FCC.
Sometimes I stream Fox News Talk during the day (Kilmeade, Gibson, Sullivan - not Colmes!). Their stream is chock full of this garbage: “Do you have the right car seat for your kid?” “Do you know to call 911 if you’re having a stroke?” “Are you prepared for a natural disaster?” “Take your kids to the forest today; visit bleep.gov to find one near you.”
The answers to these questions used to be covered by something called common sense and did not require a visit to a government web site.
Chances are these Ad Council spots (which are obnoxious in their strained humor) were purchased long in advance. Money wholly wasted in my opinion.
One of my hot-button issues. Those ads seem to be proliferating. It makes me wonder if the gubmint is forcing them on conservative stations as a means of some sort of “balance”. I usually turn them down extremely low so I can hear when the show comes back on. Another maddening thing is that once the programming does return, it’s already in progress, the ad time having been eaten up by these obnoxious, propaganda-spewing ads.
Thank you Dear Leader!
But whatever would we do without those informative and thought-provoking ads??????
Yep, it’s these long, useless Ad Council ads surrounded by much shorter ads by local businesses hustling to make a living.
Thanks, all. I get it now. Making Conservatives spend more money to get the Conservative voice heard. They leave no stone unturned, do they? I HOPE America wakes up and CHANGES direction soon!
My most hated is the one where they claim if you’re good at video games or break dancing, that translates to you being good college material.
I hate guvmint PSAs. They’re a daily unwanted reminder of FEDGUV INC’s intrusion into every single aspect of our lives.
