The Commercial<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

That is an exceptionally stupid commercial.<\/p>\n

Not because it ridicules radio, but because it makes no sense.<\/p>\n

The story is about watching TV without advertisements…until suddenly, bizarrely, it swerves and becomes about the fact that commercial radio has ads.<\/p>\n

Huh?<\/p>\n

And radio stations that actually agree to run this spot?<\/p>\n

Even more exceptionally dumb.<\/p>\n

The ad attempts (and miserably fails) to promote the Dish Network by ridiculing the programming (yes, the programming, which it implies is ruined by advertising) on the radio station playing the commercial.<\/p>\n

While the spot is a dud in terms of making sales for the advertiser, listeners do hear the “this radio station is filled with annoying commercials” implication.<\/p>\n

Y’know….\u201cAnnoying commercials such as this one.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
