Do you refer to the very lovely Rachel?
Your mom is cheaper than I thought she'd be. :P |
Well, it was stupid of you to underestimate how cheap them Jewish mothers are.
And in my case, living through WW2 and Soviet Communism didn't help... :?
Neither Ian nor I suggest that there is anything wrong with accepting government benefits. The government steals from you, there is nothing wrong with getting some of it back. I am not fond of the tone of the ad, but the advertiser says we are the best source of leads for them. They also offered the highest rate we have ever received. Advertising is kinda tough in this market, we make our pay checks from advertising. You know what happens if we don't get advertisers, right?
If you want the advertiser to go away, I will do so for $2000/month on a 6 month contract.
I have heard another ad by the same company that lacks the "gung ho" tone, why not suggest to them that one may produce more desirable results than another? As a veteran, I found the ad to be corny and slightly offensive.
I promise to do my part to provide some financial support to the show, so that you may in the future screen your advertisers, even though such ads may continue.
... but I must fear of telling the agency that the ad they picked out for my show and is doing so well might not be right for the audience.
Can't we have a thread about how several people have tried a particular advertiser and the product and service have been great?Do you have a web page that lists the advertisers?

Yes, I would never knowingly lie to my listeners. They are too valuable. It is one thing for listeners to not like an advertiser for whatever reason, it is another thing to lie to them.
I have pretty much always taken a vitamin, so when they offered to have me endorse the product I figured why not?

It is one thing to use government roads, schools etc. because they hold a monopoly on those services but to collect stolen money, is a completely different situation and absolutely indefensible. This obviously does not include tax rebates etc. as that is YOUR money to begin with.
If you want the advertiser to go away, I will do so for $2000/month on a 6 month contract.

You pissed about not making much money? Do something about it then, why whine to us? Just taking the piss I am. Problem is that it's hard to get a lot of what one might call mainstream ads from companies people know and trust, honestly a lot of the stuff your advertisors sell can be total shit. The ones I have used are Liberty stickers - very good service, Amazon Canada and Newegg Canada, all good shit. You might have better luck making money through the types of partnerships you have with Amazon and Newegg. I have seen the new water filter thingy in some businesses but the health food/diet stuff, no thanks. Sometimes it feels like everything supporting you guys is either looney tunes Alex Jones type shit or so expensive that I would need to become a federal politician in order to afford it.
Try these guys yet?

Try festivals as well, not a regular source but they can be desperate to get the word out. Isn't Jason O running a brew company as well? They gonna enter festivals? They can tell other beer makers they use you to advertise and lie through their teeth, network. I buy beer and whiskey from across the globe, if I don't drink it then it's a good investment to hold onto.

Theres a difference between being an active participant in certain gov-related programs, and a passive participant. |
That line is trademarked by the guy who used to wash the gas chamber floors.
I dont see a problem with the ad. Well, let me be more specific, I dont see a problem with FTL profiting off this ad. Quality of the ad sucks, but if you are fortunate enough to get out of the armed services alive, take as much from those bastards as you can
That line is trademarked by the guy who used to wash the gas chamber floors.
Seriously, this ad is infinitely more dishonorable than my millions in medicaid fraud - it doesn't insult and diminish the government, it glorifies it! It's like a giant "just kidding, sucka!" label attached over anything decent that FTL (and, by very close association, the FSP) has ever stood for!
:cry:
I also doubt that any government official would tell servicemen they are entitled to these things. When i hear "on your feet." I am reminded of that guy who used to call in about the IRS, he had the junkyard and the pitbulls, older fellow.

Laugh? I find it depressing...

I won't suggest that the advertiser "go away", but perhaps they should check their demographic before loading their default ad. I have heard another ad by the same company that lacks the "gung ho" tone, why not suggest to them that one may produce more desirable results than another? As a veteran, I found the ad to be corny and slightly offensive. I find it funny that on the show during which I was considering the ads because of this thread, there was a caller who expressed dismay at other callers who, as Ian put it, want to provide their "cred" by stating their military service. I promise to do my part to provide some financial support to the show, so that you may in the future screen your advertisers, even though such ads may continue.

I was able to check on this today. They did test another ad in some other venues and it did not test as well. It is an unfortunate fact of life that one person's offensive ad is another's attention grabbing ad. They are not using the other ad at all at this point, and will not be placing it on FTL. Why would they? FTL is one of the best venues that they have with the current ad.
Government officials actually WANT to help. Most bureaucrats think that they are the intellectual elite and that if it weren't for people like them most americans would not be able to function in life.
