Sometimes, children singing in a commercial depresses my sex drive.

It's gotten to the point where I break for the computer to mute the sound during breaks between innings. That and the Foxwoods commercial with the Brooce imitator.

Any charity that can afford to constantly advertise on the radio, as irritatingly as K4K does, can't be on the up-and-up anyway.

Good point.

I'm actually missing game action because I have to gingerly guess when to turn the sound back on.

Dudes, you have enough in your budget to order 60 minutes of ads per Mets game, how about recording three or four different commercials and rotating them?

Play with it later, there's a game on. We're all guilty of IGT blather, but really.

No, multitask! We don't care if you're typing slower with one hand. I have the same problem when I see commercials for Cialis.

Still trying to convince the wife to get fuck-tubs for the backyard.

Is it me, or is the adult man singing in this spot even more wenis-shriveling?

I keep picturing a creepily-plucked man with rouged cheeks and grabby hands stepping out from behind the kid singers to deliver that second, trilly chorus.

Now that sounds like the first line from an ad for Home Depot.

I'm feeling good all over
And here's the reason why
I just sold my car to Car Cash
I'm in love with the Car Cash guy

Googling Kars4Kids gives reams of results describing this as a giant scam.

Love it.


Had no idea there was an actual term for those...


If there wasn't there is now.


Side note on sex pills commercials: I love how the guy is always the good-looking and seemingly in great shape middle-aged type. And while I'm sure there are some E.D. patients who fit that mold you know that 90+% of those who need the stuff are likely much older, vastly overweight, alcoholic, diabetic, or, quite likely, some combination of all of the above.
But they certainly don't want to put those faces on the product.

Advertising is great that way. Compare the crowd eating at McDonald's or Burger King in their TV commercials with the actual people going to those places and you'll see the same thing.

Big fat messes of people aren't allowed on TV unless it's a Dateline special and their shot from the neck down. And I love that, by the way. A bunch of giant headless "things" walking around American cities.

Ah, now, see, that's not a necessary inference to draw.

I've written to FAN to complain.

This is the first time I've ever written a broadcaster to complain about an ad, and I think my transition from handsome young heartbreaker to grumpy old shit is complete.

The fact that nobody's mentioned it in this thread must mean that horrifying 23 Nissan commercial is a local ad and someone at my cable company has to pay.

'Instant access' is where you write to talk to the on-air staff. IOW, your KARS-4-KIDS message will get read by some 23 y/o producer for whatever show is on at that moment and discarded.
Not sure where you write to direct stuff toward station mgmt but if you find it at least it'll be read by their 23 y/o secretary before being discarded.
