Yep, it's outside money coming in for the really dumb ads. One of my favorites on the radio right now is this one with this kind of folksy music playing in the background where this woman is looking in the want ads and considering applying to be a bartender at the local bar. Her husband chimes in why and she goes on about how Joni voted to do this, that, etc. and how are they going to make ends meet. To which the dopey husband responds "I wonder if they'll hire me too." while the banjo or whatever fades out.
Pisses me off that someone thought that this ad would persuade me - it's an absolute assault on my intelligence. And then I get sad, because I know someone listened, it resonated, and in their minds they said "Darn Joni, I knew it...da-derpy, derp, derp." The anti-Greenfield ads are just as bad...so not picking on one or the other. Just commenting on this one because it's sooooooo dumb.
