A radio ad that really chapped my hide

Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a way to a link so

you could listen to it, but it was by a photography

studio, and the 'hook' was "Shoot them (sound effects)

blow them up (sound effects) and hang them." Talked

about how kids were starting back to school, how much

they change in a few months, so shoot them (take a pic)

blow them up (studio does) and hang them (on the wall).

I sent emails to both the studio and the radio station,

got what I'm pretty sure was a form letter back from the

radio station saying my comments would be passed on

to the appropriate person (read: circular file?) and that

was it, so far.

I do GET that it was supposed to be 'funny' I just found it

in very poor taste.

What do you think?

At the end of the long school holiday probably not the best advice to give to harassed parents :-s

All in all,I'd have to agree with you, not funny.
