Need Phone # for Air America-HATE Doctor's Dental Nightguard commercial!!!
Edited on Wed Feb-08-06 02:07 PM by shireen
Does anyone have the AAR phone number, not the call-in line, the one for the corporate office?

I want to call the marketing department and tell them to STOP AIRING THAT F*CKIN' Doctor's Dental Nightguard commercial with the sickening teeth-grinding sounds! It's like listening to fingernails scratching across the blackboard and it makes me CRAZY!!!! I've emailed AAR and that ridiculous company airing the ads, promising them that I'll never buy those products as long as they air that commercial.

I called the customer service number for Dental Concepts (www.dentalconcepts.com) and asked for the number for the marketing department. I was given 914-524-6800 and told to ask for Bob Storks at ext. 2819.

If you're as pissed off as I am, please say something to them!!! Teeth grinding in itself is bad enough. Do we have to listen to those exaggerated grinding sounds as well? I will never buy that product or any other product they make as long as they air it!

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

3. I wear headphones at work, so those commercials are
especially grating. I pull off my headphones every time they are aired. The person who designed those commercials does not have any advertising experience.

5. Dude, they paid for the advertising time...
...they are helping AAR stay afloat, so what's your grip? Just turn down the volume for 30 seconds.

Commercials are supposed to be annoying.

7. I'm okay with annoying
None of the others bother me, but if you've ever slept with a tooth-grinder. These are torture.

11. I'm with you
My husband grinds his teeth and that's bad enough to listen to. The new commercial is even worse with the voice over saying they are going to continue with the grinding noises until someone buys one of the night guards.

13. I understand your gripe...
Maybe you should complain to the company that makes the night guard. They have the right to run their ads, but they might be inclined to change them if enough customers call up and complain about the annoying ad. AAR is not the party at fault here.

6. Oy!
I feel your pain. I e-mailed someone ages ago about those commercials, and did write back. He said he was trying to get rid of them, but now they're back.

I may try writing to him again. I also wrote to the company and asked them to PLEASE make some different commercials.

8. "Mister, you must be gellin'"
I just turn down the sound during the commercials.

I don't think Air America can afford to turn down advertisers at this point.

9. I listen to AAR a hell of a lot, but I'm not familiar with this issue.
I think I pretty much tune out all the commercials without knowing it.

Or maybe I just don't' know what teeth grinding sounds like, so I don't hear it.

Funny thing, though -- this thread.

17. I agree
I have no idea what the commercial is.

One that annoys me is the one where the lady keeps saying "Tell them about the discount Harry!"

AAR is making money off of this; just turn the volume down for the time being.:D

21. Yes, "Harry" rings a bell. But I couldn't tell you what the commercial
is for if it was a multiple choice question.

14. STOP THAT COMMERCIAL!
Save me! Help me keep my sanity! Please contact AAR and Dental Concepts -- tell them you will not buy their product until they take the teeth grinding out of the commercial. PLEASE!!!!

I'm desperate.....
:(

19. This commercial is one of the worst forms of torture I've had to listen to
Very fitting for it to be playing during this administration.
