Commercial-free Radio
Every
day in the office where I work, the same alternative/rock radio station is
played over the speaker system. I
can live with it. But I've noticed that sometimes, radio stations (especially
this particular one) will advertise the fact that they play a bunch of songs in
a row without commercial interruptions. That
sounds pretty good, right? Sure.
But then the contradictory pricks have the nerve to say something like,
"you're listening to Edge Live Virgin Radio, we're in the middle of another
eight songs in a row without any commercial interruptions brought to you by WPLJ
102.1..."
That's
right...smack dab in the middle of those supposedly uninterruptible songs, they
start yakkin' away without any sense of irony.
Face facts, people: an interruption is an interruption.
I don't care if it's promoting Coca Cola, hemorrhoid cream, or the name
and broadcasting frequency of the idiotic radio station.
These guys stick their little comments in-between almost every song,
taking up enough time to equal several "legitimate" commercials, and
love to enhance their voices with all kinds of crazy sound effects as they
smugly say
something like, "if you're waiting for a commercial break, it's gonna be a
while..."
Yeah,
dumbasses, that's exactly what I'm doing. Sitting
around, holding my dick, listening in rapt attention to the radio until a
commercial break finally gives me leave to go to the bathroom.
Do they think we're still in the 1940's?
Radios
are portable, content is repetitive and abundant, and I can download any song I
damn well please at my leisure.
