I hate those radio ads that keep repeating the phone number, I understand why they do it but I still hate them. I'd love to make a small, cheap device that could hook to a cell phone and call them every 10 seconds for hours.

There's even a head-on commercial that has someone saying "I hate your commercials but I love you product" or something like that.

A local electrical company got the number 867-5309, and uses the tune and number in their commercials. I wonder if it helps.

Unless Billy May starts hawking robot monkeys that crap dubloons for $19.95, I will continue to proactively avoid any product or brand he screams on about.

A plumber here did that too. At least their tv ads are cute.

Anyone else have to deal with the annoying-as-hell credityes.com radio commercials? Each and every one of them makes me want to find the voice actors who agreed to do it and put them out of their misery...
