(New York City) Radio station 600 AM KOGO, "The Big One," is torturing the
San Diego radio market with a Corkys Pest Control commercial campaign,
that has been running in all spots, twenty-four hours a day. The
commercial done to the melody of Brenda Lee's 1960 Decca hit "Rockin'
Around the Christmas Tree" features a lispy Weird Al Yankovic chimpmunk
soundalike is neither funny nor memorable but agonizing. The radio
commercial offers to buy the listener at Mr. A's, a high end restaurant,
if they can't beat a pest control competitors price. a San Diego radio
historical observer is perplexed at the Corkys Pest Control commercial
"too many ads and advertising copy that insults the audience's
intelligence...the 'Corkys' phone number is just too long and complex,
peh-eew." A busy bowtied New York city advertising executive comments on
the bizarre phenomena, "Oh, haven't you heard? It's a new invention
called, radio SPAM," one broadcast consultant says, "Its saturated the
audience after one week now they're turning people away from using Corkys
Pest Control, at all" one cranky 90 year old female late night veteran
radio listener, exclaims, "I just tune in 640 AM KFI, out of Los Angeles,
no more Corkys." Corkys Pest Control declined to comment and a KOGO
salesman abruptly hung up the phone when asked to comment. The commercial
has been running nonstop since November 27 2006.
