Untill Big Fan hires message board police than people should just STFU.

There are threads I check about once a month and shame on me for that but with B&B and MJH really being the only shows I listen too (beside my own thread of course :wink:

) I really don't have a thought. I did check out some great posts in the management on other hosts thread..Great stuff.

I originally posted this as a response in COMMERCIALS, but since the MJH forum has already been violated :wink:

, I've got to share it:

This is a fairly regular Chicago area advertiser. Check out what they're trying to do . . . on their OWN websites:

Kars4Kids website give us "The truth about Cucumber Phone Service"
http://www.kars4kids.org/cucumberphoneservice.htm

Cucumber Communications gives us "The truth about Kars4kids"
http://www.cucumber.com/kars4kids.html

. . . can they possibly be serious??

The only thing worse than a commercial featuring a child is a commercial featuring a child singing. I've said it many times before, but it bears repeating: nothing is more awful than the sound of children singing. I can't understand how advertising people still haven't realized this. Commercials featuring singing children instantly earn a boycott from me.

Oh, and the dude sucks too. If you're going to have someone sing, who isn't a child (all children are horrible singers), why not get one that can sing worth a damn?

One last thing: for whatever reason, the fact that the child pronounces "today" "tuh-day" bothers me.

Matt,

Are you available for babysitting duties?

Oh, and to the thread title....YARRRRRRRR!!!

You don't like the commercial "Scruff McGruff Chicago Illinois 6-0-6-5-2"?

OMG, you seriously just about sent me into shock: I had purged that commercial from my mind, and my remembering it sparked a rush of adrenaline-fueled rage. That commercial is ridiculous beyond comprehension. I said that all children suck at singing, but that kid takes sucking at singing to new levels. How about they way he/she sings "Illinois?"

Scruff, gruff, Chicago Illinoi-OI-oi-OI-oi-OI-oi-OIs, 60652.

It's my understanding that that commercial is used as the last resort measure for interrogators at GITMO.

MITC - The kick in the nuts for me is how the dude doesn't pronounce the plural of "kids." Sounds like he's singin' "Kars for Kid." Please kill me.
