Some radio advertisements I like; some I dislike; the majority I tune out.<\/p>\n

Among the ones I dislike….<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The ones advertising male enhancement products — is the economy so bad that radio stations must help further in the mainstreaming of shamelessness?\n
  2. The ones with the “fine print” read at high speed — they must be trying to hide something.\n
  3. The ones that present men as…well…pick your own less-than-complimentary term — I thought we’d agreed that fatherhood and manliness need promoting in our culture!\n
  4. The ones related to politics — that season is getting awfully close again already.\n
  5. The ones trashing competitors — hey, can’t you guys sell us on the strength of your<\/i> product and your<\/i> service and your<\/i> people!\n
  6. The ones that don’t identify themselves, but offer grand benefits for calling them — what are you hiding, incomeathome.com?<\/ol>\n

    Now a closing note to Advanced Auto Parts — please bring back the guy you had before the guy who’s on now. I actually enjoyed your ads then, even though I don’t buy from you.<\/p>\n
