If I hear that "Kars for Kids" commercial one more time

[PlanetBev]

I’m going to tear off my clothes, pick up a meat cleaver and run off screaming into the night.

1. And then the next car you see will be this one:

2. Oh I understand- here is a new ear worm for you

I’d like to teach the world to sing

3. Hasn't that been exposed as a scam?

Or at least, some questionable tactics.

7. Scam Might Be Strong

But, they are on the CharityWatch alert list.
Very high administrative costs, advertising & marketing budgets greater than the amounts actually directed to charities, hidden distributions going to ultra-Orthodox Jewish organizations with suspect charitable credentials, misleading public reporting.
Not sure we can call it a scam, but it sure smells funny.

9. They sure aren't spending any money on a new commercial.

That same damn one has been playing for years.

11. Sounds about right. Plus they aren't wasting any money on a new commercial; this one was mothballed for awhile...

…and now has returned more cloying and annoying than ever.
Thank G-d (so to speak) for the Mute button on my clicker.

4. I figure my cats are using telepathy to get that Nordic Beast by playing that song.

I know they will try to knock each other off of it.

5. That commercial IS mega-annoying!

6. Oh, ...I sooo hear you! Drives me nuts, too.

😬😬😬

Been a good while for me; not hearing it.
:looksaround:
(did I jinx myself? 😄 )

I guess I'll find out.

8. The best part is at the end

Now they want your house too. Apparently just begging for people's old beaters isn't producing the revenue they need.

10. Every list I ever see about most despised commercials has this one on the list.

It does seem to be universally despised, and with good reason.

12. And yet, unforgettable

13. While Not K4K, it just reminded me of an article I must have read at least 10, possibly 15 years ago regarding the ...

children's show Barney.
You know - the purple dinosaur.

It was something along the lines of a survey where ?40% of the adults got quite annoyed - just on hearing the word; "Barney".
