I'm no fan of
DJ Linda on
RKFM 99.7, but, God bless her, there she is every morning, getting up at the crack of dawn to drive all the way from Jahra to the radio station to be her (excessively) perky self on the radio. Yes I have issues with her music selection which barely seems to change, but I can't get too worked up over it that early in the day.
And yet nobody - not even your worst enemy - should be subjected to the daily ordeal of plugging
Audi cars every single Goddamn morning between 8 and 9 a.m.! It's cruel and inhumane, and shows a complete lack of imagination. It's enough to make us miss the old awful
Babtain radio spots, which at least ran on their own and didn't force Linda to read from the same gushing script every day.
DJ's are supposed to play music, and when they're not doing that they can talk about music and entertainment news, public service announcments or engage the listeners in conversations or jokes or even pranks. If the hour is sponsored by someone, they can just say "
This hour is brought to you by [sponsor]" and leave it at that. They should
NOT be plugging the products and going on and on about how great they are on a daily basis; and certainly not for well over a year!!
I hope
Audi's local ad agency reconsiders it's radio advertising strategy soon before Linda goes off the rails and has a nervous breakdown. Seriously folks.. this is grounds for a lawsuit and compensation for emotional distress!
And I hope she actually got an
Audi as a reward for her troubles. After over a year of this torture she deserves nothing less than a
full-option Audi A8!Labels: Media
