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.)

That's fantastic.

There was a terrible ad on TV recently, suggesting that people might like to vote for a particular channel's personalities in the Logies (our Emmy Awards, sort of). The ad went something like:

In the time it takes to watch this ad, 800 million children will go hungry, 1 billion people will live below the poverty line... and one ABC personality will go without a Logie.

Appalling.

Holy cow--now that takes guts! And a remarkable amount of egotism. hahaha!

I almost watched, btw.

Am I misunderstanding? You almost watched the Logies? They're shown on US TV? That's madness!

haha! Naw, I almost watched the POISON BED OF DOOM.

*turns brain back on* That makes more sense! :-)
