"Please stop making it look like only morons use your product."
"I appreciate funny radio commercials, I really do. But the level of
stupidity displayed (and conveyed by surprisingly good voice acting)
in the latest HD radio campaign is just painful to listen to. Over the
past two days, I've heard the following commercials:
- A woman terrified that the fact that her car radio can activate her
Itunes to order a song she likes means that her shower is watching her
and telling the toaster about her.
- A man describing the act of taking the HD out of the box and
throwing out his old radio as an 'awesome' cage match.
- A man worried that the Itunes thing will lead to a Robot War and
destroy mankind.
And I'm not just extrapolating from any kind of tongue in cheek jokes
here. These characters really are portrayed as that dumb, not as
people telling a joke. It's really so evident that it completely
overshadows anything they were trying to say about the radio. On
another note, a server company had a hilarious commercial in which
they threatened a Judgment Day style Apocalypse if people don't buy
their secure servers."

Peter "Sgt. Bilk-o" Ferrera and the HD Alliance must be full of
voyeurs - what a bunch of morons.
