Pledge breaks? Who needs them?

Puh-LEEZE do NOT TELL me that freekin OPB is NONCOMMERCIAL --- how bout they actually stop with the straight-up ads and stick to the pledgie-pledgie, or just go for more "traffic reports brought to you from McDonalds" WITHOUT the pledgie pledgie. One or the other. NOT BOTH. GOD HELP US NOT BOTH.

And with the number of STRAIGHT AHEAD ADS on both the radio and the TV (the TV is THE WORST, with jingle-tone ads selling SUVs driving over nature areas and disposable diapers and what-all) I have a hard time believing they're as strapped for cash as they say ---- maybe they should SELL SOME OF THEIR PROPERTY, or DOWNSCALE THE CEO guy.

I mean, I heard a talker on OPB last week say, "brought to you by V8--I coulda had a V8!" And I coulda crashed my freekin car and put out both my eyes ON THE RADIO KNOBS.

PUH-LEEZE. Ideers? How bout they just figure out who they are and what they're doing? Then they can move on from there....

On a related note, I just got a new gig at a Christian radio station, and believe it or not, they play almost all of the SAME ADS as Air America, KPOJ, aka "K-Pudge." Always my personal favorite: Tom-Shane-Your-Friend-In-The-Diamond-Business (c'maan--you have a Tom Shane impression too...admit it.."when you're buying a diamond tennis bracelet.....")
Fascinating.
