Radio Ads

Getting stuck in traffic is bad. Getting stuck in traffic when all the radio stations seem to be playing stupid commercials is even worse! I had a shorter temper after listening to the 1-800-MERCEDES ad; just stop repeating the number! I know, I know, it's supposed to be a marketing technique so that people will remember the number, but it still seems like my brain cells are being insulted by this radio commercial everytime I hear it.

Radio: 1-800-MERCEDES!
Me: Oh.
Radio: 1-800-MERCEDES!
Me: You just said that.
Radio: 1-800-MERCEDES!
Me: You just said that.
Radio: 1-800-MERCEDES!
Me: #$^#^$%&^*%@#$%^%&%&*!!!

Also, that Carls Jr. radio commercial airing right now simply doesn't make sense to me. So the guy is woken up to eat breakfast, and it doesn't seem like he's overly enthusiastic about it. And then the ad goes something like, "If you want to eat breakfast but don't want to get up that early, go to Carls Jr."

I just don't get it. This is supposed to draw me to this place?
