    He’s still got a valid point. In songs and in some ads, they even show up.
    Add cellphone ringtones to that list, the list of “whoever thought this was a clever idea is an idiot” ideas.

      Agreed.

      When I was much younger (which is to say when radio was prevalent over streaming music), there was a commercial that started with “now is a good time to test your brakes!” It made me want to slam my brakes to test them every time I heard it.

      There was also a commercial that started with screeching tires and smashing glass. I hated that one.
