Stupid Radio Commercials.

Unlike many (basically all) of the people I know, I occasionally turn on the good ol' FM radio machine. You know, that thing that most people have in their cars that makes sounds and whatnot.

So anyway, I listen to the radio every now and then. And most of the time, I can revel in it's analog simplicity without much worry or irritation.

Except for commercials. Now, most of you may not remember this, but there was a time when you couldn't skip past commercials. And that time, for the radio, has never passed. So you have to drudge through all those darn commercials telling you about low refinance rates and how they can get you a car with no interest until 2048. Whoop de fucking doo.

The commercials typically are only a minor annoyance, until about a month ago when I noticed one about energy saving around the home.

Now, I'm all for clean energy/reusable energy/smart usage of energy/etc. So in my mind, I'm thinking this may be a good, worthwhile commercial.

Then I heard it all. This is essentially what happens.
(note to readers: the voices are of tweenage girls. The worst kind)

I paraphrased a little.

---
"Hey Jamie. Is that your phone charger over there?"
"HURR DURR NO IT'S NOT"
"WELL YES IT IS"
"NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO IT'S NOT"
A dorky ringtone sounds. Something from Disney.
"isn't that your ringtone, jamie?
"OH JIMINY CRICKETS YES IT IS."
"HEY JAMIE DID YOU KNOW THAT PHONE CHARGERS SUCK UNGODLY AMOUNTS OF ENERGY OUT OF THE WALL EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING THEM?!"
"GOLLY GEE [erica], I DID NOT KNOW!"
Strong adult voice: "Yes, remember to unplug those pesky wall chargers. They will skyrocket your electric costs blah blah blah im really strong and adult blah blah blah listen to me blah blah blah"

Then some dorky jingle plays and I am informed that this a collaboration of my local radio stations and EARS, Eugene Area Radio Stations.

Well would you take a gander at that. Cell phone chargers... I would never know.

I'm sure the evidence to the contrary is just mere hearsay.

Everyone, keep driving your petrovampire automobiles, keep drinking down that oil molotov, keep throwing away your recyclables and buying disposables, keep using non-reusable energy, keep flying in your aeroplanes, it's all cool as long as you don't keep your cell phone charger plugged in.

God forbid we do that.
