You'd think that CFRB and zig would have gotten it by now. Last fall, the increasingly irrelevant talk radio station hired the ad agency to pimp them out on the streets of Toronto with an ad campaign that centred around the phrase "We need to talk." And talk we did: the company littered the city with illegal ads (including ones that asked, appropriately, "Is advertising getting out of control?"), and paid homeless people an exploitatively low amount, quite possibly so low that it was illegal, to carry signs asking "Should panhandling be illegal?" It was all pretty reprehensible stuff, but for some reason they're ramping up the campaign again: according to the Post, zig is paying prostitutes to carry signs asking, you guessed it, "should prostitution be legal?" and "over the next few weeks, [zig] will be handing out hand sanitizer with the message: 'Does the flu shot really work?' and posting signs on public ashtrays that read: 'Should smokers be denied healthcare?'" Haven't we had enough?

I'm not saying the payback strategy is obvious here, but trying to incubate "controvery" by genuinely pissing people off is just asking for it.
Are these rhetorical questions?
Can anyone remember when CFRB had any good press about itself? Not in donkey's years.
The place is a total washout.
Haven't we had enough?
Obviously, no. If you think CFRB sucks, why give them any press?
As I asked in the other thread: Radio is still around?
rek: Yes.
You guys, I googled radio and it turns out that some people use the technology in their cars. So I guess it's a commuter thing. Also it's different from last.fm but I'm not sure how.
