saw it a couple times during the Bears postgame on CSN

He was surrounded by cardboard cutouts of himself, looking as constipated as ever, while caucasian man was playing in the background and he was promotin

Whoever's cutting the check is sure wasting a lot of money on this advertising. Most people who know who Mike North is don't want this. People who don't know who Mike North would never buy this, unless they take a chance when it hits the 26 cents rack. The interviews aren't even the classics, someone hit the russian roulette soundbite. They're lightening up like Christmas trees!

He'll probably get more people buying this as a "White Elephant" Christmas gift than people who are seriously interested in hearing it.

He won't sell 5k copies of his cd.


I was at the Best Buy across from Old Orchard in Skokie this weekend. The first thing I saw upon entering was the North cutout holding the cd's. I checked it out, and it looked like 2 copies had been sold--that's 2 more than I would've thought...

I'd be curious to find out what is the percentage of North Shore adults who actually know who Mike North is.

Who has the higher IQ? The real North, or the cardboard cutouts of him in the commercial?

My money's on the cutouts. If we let one of them do the show, we'd at least stand a better chance of hearing something intelligent come out of its mouth.

I think that's being generous...the people who would be interested in anything North puts out haven't even switched over from 8-track yet...

I was at Best Buy in Schaumburg yesterday looking for a different CD. Then when I turned around from the aisle, there was the Mike North cutout looking me in the eye. It is so ridiculous and out of place looking, no one knows who he is, and all the CDs are still in the display. I just started laughing out loud. Seriously, how dumb is Best Buy, my cousin has a decent band, will they sell the cd?

I was CD shopping at the Best Buy at North and Sheffield last week. Didn't see any prominent displays. I may have missed it because I was in a hurry. Anyone seen it there?

 Post subject: The $1.7 million man
PostPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2005 3:01 pm 
"My guys!" he screams
As he eats peppers off his shoes (?)
The loud-mouthed weiner assembler,
Famed for Archie-Bunkerness on air,
Helped destroy a novel radio station.

McNeil, Williams, Siuntress, Riles
You've been forced away
Yet all the while
The $1.7 million man sees no need to improve
The disaster that is his morning show to lose

And disappear this show will
Not soon enough
Dave Baum get ready
You'll soon be up

How long will the score ads and tv ads continue. I mean the radio commercial keep saying that it makes the perfect holiday gift. Well the holidays are over. No one gives gifts for New Years. All the stupid people who might be interested in this crap would have bought it by now.

Just a guess but I'll bet that once this yrs campaighn officially ends North will start pushing this crap next year around the holiday season.

If in fact North and his production company are paying for these ads on the score, I'll bet the cost amount is greater then the sales revenue and he is taking a loss on this.

At least now he has tons of unsold CD's to give away for the winner of the Reel Estate game.

Perhaps when covered with a little Marconi giardiniera, the leftover CD's could be served as snacks at the Norths' Super Bowl party. A little crunchy, perhaps, but hell, he's got to do something with them.

Bebe-- Whats in all the boxes Mikey

Pappy-- 50,000 CD's and 40,000 t-shirts. Best Buy doesn't want to carry dis crap anymore and Mitch won't let me store it at da station.

Bebe-- Oh Mikey, let me finish making you a sandwitch and then I'll make room in the Hall of Fame room to store those.

Pappy-- Dat will be great babe. Don't worry, I'm gonna have the production company add to dese CD's for next years holiday season. We'll call it "Caucasion Man" da uncensored version.

Bebe-- Do you think that Mitch will let you advertise for free next year after this failure.

Pappy-- Dats exactly right, Mitch is a scared of me. He thinks im in da mob. How else do you explain him keeping me after constant rating book failures.

Bebe-- Oh Mikey, I hope this lucky ride we're on never ends. Can we call Fritzy and go out for dinner and drinks.

Pappy--Absolutely. Baby your da greatest.

Personally, I think Gibson's or Basta Pasta is about to be the proud owner of 50,000 new coasters -- round silver ones with little holes in the middle.
