Heard It on the Radio

I listen to a lot of radio in my car and sometimes at home, depending on what I'm doing and what mood I'm in. So this blog is devoted to this important part of my life -- more important than I actually want it to be, hah! Maybe someday I'll get an iPod.

on offending restaurant workers

Heard a funny thing on the Dave Glover show the other afternoon. The National Restaurant Association is trying to get a TV commercial for an insurance company taken off the air. Why's the National Restaurant Association caring about an insurance company commercial? Why, because it's offensive to restaurant workers.

Seems Kevin Federline is shown working in a fast food joint but dreaming of being a rap star . . . when he's really just selling fries.

Oh my, is that offensive.

Look, I've worked in several pizza places. And I HATE rap. But if I had some magic power to choose between a fast food restaurant job and being a rap star making lots of money, it'd be a no-brainer. Who in their right mind would not prefer to be a star.

As long as I didn't have to listen to my own songs!
