God awful commercial just on AAR!!!
it was so terrible I had to turn the radio down...they were advertising a mouth guard for people who grind their teeth in their sleep, and they kept playing the sound of teeth grinding. To me that sound is just like nails on a chalkboard. Ahhhhhhhh yuck!!!!

1. The ad probably works well then for SOs of people who grind their teeth.

2. This is an extremely important device for people who need it.
My poor Derek wears one and was tortured in pain without it.


Awful commercial. effective though... you're talking about it? no?


Worse commercials on AAR:


Credit counseling companies: all fly by night literally steal from poor people.


Questionable Get Rich or Hypnotism or Weigth loss products: CLAP TRAP CRAP!

4. I don't deny the usefulness of the product...
but I could have lived without having to hear the sound of grinding teeth...it just sends shivers up my spine

3. that does sound bad
to some extent not because of the sound, but because you know what the source of the sound is supposed to be.
I get annoyed by the Phillip Morris ad that starts with the sound of a keyboard. Not a horrible sound, but usually not something I like to listen to at that volume. Clackity, clack, clack, clack.

5. Very standard for talk radio
Stell buildings
Hypnosis for alcohol/drug/whatever
Bed commercials
and that one.

Almost every talk radio show you listen to will have those commercials.
