I can often tell if a television or computer monitor has been left turned on with no input signal from other rooms of a house. The buzz is so loud for me that it hurts my ears and I hope they stop running the commercial soon.</p> I’m twenty-three and have always been able to hear high pitches quite well.

Boring commercial + dropped-in mysterious annoying sound = not much.

I think that KFC’s advertising is flailing around right now. Yes, like a chicken with its head cut off. I read they offered Sanjaya thousands of dollars if he’d pose for a commercial with a bucket haircut. How does this sell chicken?

I think it’s gone downhill, advertising wise, ever since it dropped the Kentucky Fried Chicken name and opted for KFC. It’s still a fried chicken restaurant. Why not embrace it?
