** CANADA** MEET PROMO GIRL: THE VOICE THAT HAS STEPPED OUTSIDE THE CBC RADIO BOX -- by Elizabeth Payne, The Ottawa Citizen, February 19, 2005 http://www.canada.com/ottawa/ottawac...6-adf55824c5ae I haven't heard Promo Girl, but this reminds me of the absolutely MOST ANNOYING radio commercials I have EVER heard. A decade ago in San Jose, California, there was a shop called Beeper City. It sold pagers in the days before cell phones were common. They did spots on local radio featuring "Beeper Guy" or as everybody at the college called him Beeper Dummy. They called him this because he had the most annoying tone of voice you've ever heard, and a hyperactive style of pushing beepers, like somebody who's taken too much Adderall for their own good. A 30 second spot on KMEL left you longing for the "DJ Girl" song (probably the most annoying pop song in history, but that's another story). It was like your ears ran a marathon with Beeper Dummy, and boy were they exhausted when it was over. "Beepers, beepers, beepers!" We were all about ready to go down to Beeper City and burn down their stupid little pager store by the time the promotion ran its course. But I'm sure that Beeper City got a lot of business from Beeper Guy. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
