I bet you might enjoy some of the PSAs I've heard on the radio, just for
a change. The ones I've heard on KGSR about traffic laws (especially
one recent one about making sure everyone in the car is wearing a seat
belt or is otherwise appropriately restrained) and litter are fun ones,
IMO. :)
There was a point at which I found radio ads for cellphone service so
annoying that I'd change stations everytime one was aired. I had 3
stations I was cycling through. (This was before I was listening to the
classical station -- I started doing *that* because Sammy seemed to
appreciate it more than any of the other options I was happy with.)
Every once in awhile, I'd make 2 or 3 complete circuits of the 3
stations before I hit something other than a commercial for cellphone
service....
