I used to like listening to the radio coming into and going home from work but
man, im so fed up with the amount of commercials…..
Someone always trying to sell me stuff I don’t want or need.

And some of them are so poorly produced its embarrassing-for instance-you can always
Tell a Chevy ad because some guy with a big booming echo voice is on.
Then we have Bud Hedinger telling me how he had no signs of heart problems
And Dr Kronhouse scanned his heart and saved his life (what he don’t tell you however is insurance don’t pay and it costs 1000 bucks)
Now he’s on about his back doctor that helped him etc-bud-you have a lot of problems !

We have Sean Hannity telling me about his “good friends “ at Drew medical and Ruths chris steak house (Yeah like I eat there 3 times a week)

Then there’s the “official” 580WDBO weather forecast- what or where is the unofficial one?
And I love those ads that at the end the guy puts out the disclaimer and speaks so fast you cant understand what the heck he’s saying !

If you listen to ads closely you will hear how stupid they really are.

And don’t get me started about TV ads but mostly they are car and drugs ads
How can driving a Lexus make my life better ?? and all these car ads that have great offers but you see a tiny little disclaimer come up that I cant read because its too small and flashes for a split second.
Notice how all the drugs ads at the end tell you oh yes by the way this drug could cause permanent liver damage or even death !! …..

Im so sold out with ads !!
Thanks for letting me let off steam..

I hear ya Fla.Brit!! They make me nutz too! The only car comm that I can stand is the Mike Erdman toyota comm. Atleast he ain't screaming at you about how good his deals are. I solved the Radio thing by putting XM and Sirius in the van. I spend most of the time listening to Radio Margaritaville. Execpt when I am next to some Moron that has that Rap S..T on at ear splitting volume. No problem any time my friend.

I have been listening to Jazz in the morning, just to get away from all the mindless chatter. What happened to playing songs on the radio. If I wanted talk radio, I would turn it to the talk radio channel.
If I were to put a disk player in my car, it would be stolen, my car doors won't lock. It would also be worth more than the car. LOL

I offer my apology for my rudeness the other day I guess I should take my meds as I'm told to.

Don't you just hate it... All these radio people use the products they are endorsing. Yes I have sleep number bed, you should get one cause I have one. Or I have my home protected with safe touch security so you should too. Give me a break, If you got it they gave it to you. Or you're just a big fat lier. You're right FloridaBrit, we are all fed up with these ads. Thank goodness for the mute button.

Vent away Brit. I'm considering sirius satellite radio. But I do like K92.3 in the morning, at 5:58, the play the someone singing the national anthem, and at 6:00 they have the Know It All Question of the Day. But when it's over, I turn the radio OFF! To much stupid advertising. "If you car was repossessed LAST NIGHT, You might have a credit problem".

The worst thing about commercials on the radio, is that it's the same ones, over and over, every ten minutes! I hate it!
I have two stations I normally listen to, and when this crap comes on I switch to the other one. Sometimes though, it is on both!

Why not complain about all the useless ads in the news paper too. One page of news and thirty eight of ads.

Did you ever buy a magazine and try to find something to read other then all the ads in it? BUY BUY BUY, I want your money. Buy a magazine just to buy ads. It sucks!!!
