Funniest alarmist local news promo ever

[valis2]

I heard this on the radio at least three times today.

*lullaby music*

"Think you're ready for an evening of nice relaxing slumber?" (or something to that effect)

*cue jangly music*

"DO YOU WANT TO SLEEP ON A BED OF POISON?!"

I am not making this up.

(It had something to do with mattresses being treated with toxic sprays to make them non-flammable, I believe.)

Oh, I'd really want to buy their product after *that*.

heh--it was one of those alarmist promos to get you to watch the local news. You know, where they say something frightening like "IS YOUR TAP WATER FULL OF LEAD AND HIPPOPOTAMUS TOXINS" and then it turns out that it isn't.

Y'know, Toxic Hippopotamus would be fabulous name for a rock band.

One-Armed Rubber Robots makes me giggle as well.
