I hate the way the kid says "tuh day" instead of "today". Listen for it next time it's on.

Yeah, I heard that just now. This commercial still has a creepy "Hey little boy, why don't you come get some candy from my windowless van" vibe to it.

Yeah, and Gary from Evanston is at the wheel wearing an Expos jersey.

Another thing: They spell "car" as "kar." First of all, it doesn't work on radio since any normal person would never think to spell "car" with a "k." It doesn't translate well if you want people to find your website, recognize print ads, etc.... In addition--why the gimmick spelling anyway? There is no justifiable reason for it.

Second, if this organization is really trying to help the "kids," don't you think they should be setting a better example by spelling "car" correctly?

I change the station every time I hear that. It's such a terrible song to get stuck in your head. It could potentially ruin the rest of my day.

Sometimes after the kids sings his part I have been known to say outloud, "Alright, cue Old Creepy Guy" and yea, its a bad vibe.

I always picture this guy when I hear the older man suddenly walking into the picture to sing with the boy.
