At work today and listening to Conservative Talk Radio, I have heard 4 PSA ads in one half hour. One is using children to give voice to garbage and encourage the public to recycle. That number will work out to 8 PSAs an hour. All promoting the Obama's (Barry and Moochelle) agenda wasting taxpayer monies.
Next one was from Smokey Bear about preventing wildfires. And just niw, one from Lets Move. Will keep updating.
This is Louisa. She is getting ready for the first time in five years to talk to her niece. Click on the green button. OOOOHHHH YOU LOOK SOOO PRETTY! I HAVE MISSED YOU! ME TOOOOOOO! OH MY GAWRSH! OHHH HOOO HOOOOOO!
/BARF
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.
Taxpayer money all belongs to this Admin only. And yes, I have heard that ad, too.
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.
If that is the case, the radio stations are being bled dry in lieu of paying ad customers.
I hate that one too! I wonder if she can say anything but that laugh “Ohh hoo hoo hoo hoo!”
“Hey Louisa, your hair is on fire.” “Ohh hoo hoo hoo hoo!” “Louisa, your dog just got run over. “Ohh hoo hoo hoo hoo!”
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 taxpayers pay pay for the production of them. There seems to be a lot that goes into these ads.
Radio stations can't sell ads to businesses. I think it's as simple as that.
But whatever would we do without those informative and thought-provoking ads??????
Dude, are you okay? Why won’t you shake my hand? Are you having a seizure or something?
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!
That’s how it always seemed to me too.
