What can we do to get AAR to stop.....
...running those CortiSlim ads?

The ones that ran in heavy rotation when the network first started up, but the ones they're running now make absolutely no sense whatsoever...and frankly, they insult my intelligence.

The guy who hawks this snake oil is a grade-A sleazeball:

Does AAR really want to be associated with this?

I e-mailed their ad department, but got no answer.

2. Just ignore them!
An operation like AAR does not run on goodwill! It runs on ad revenue.

3. Wendi the hypnosis
the lady claiming she can do every thing from increase your salary to clear up acne thru hypnosis is rather creepy as well.

I try to turn down the sound during those commercials

4. Please be glad they have real ads-
In our market the local station (Clear Channel) running AAR mostly plays horrible public service announcements from Homeland security !!!
and Don Rickles as a stroke-I am stroke!
You want to wake up to Morning Sedition & an ad about how Tom Ridge is keeping you safe?

and they have ads for Republican candidates-they don't say they are republicans in order to attempt to trick local Democratic voters.

How i wish we had maltomeal,supercuts & cortoslim ads on the airwaves!!!

7. I suspect that like some of the past lame-o ads on AAR,
the advertiser exhaust their ad budget or realize progressives aren't into Corti-slim.

8. It's not the ads that bother me. It's all those damned Cortislim showoffs
They're always talking about how great they feel and how they are shopping for new clothes.
