What is the worst song to listen to in the car because of sirens wailing, brakes screeching, horns honking, or any other scary stuff? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I can't think of a specific song but I can say that I hate when radio ads do that shit.

There used to be a ad for an auto body repair, Maaco. Their ad would end with spelling out the name, but in the middle were horns honking, "M double A (Beep Beep) C O" Fucking hated that ad.

The fact that you remember this is exactly why they will keep doing it. Remember: ads are psychological warfare.

But he got the chain wrong :)

[–] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Alternate view: they hate the wrong chain, ergo the ad still worked.

I hate ads. And now hate Maaco & Aamco too.

Unfortunately for any ads that try to pull this shit on me these days, my brain automatically overwrites the memory of it with the OG rage-inducing advertisement

"Head on, apply directly to the forehead!"

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Nah it was similarly-named Aamco.

"Double A (beep beep) M C O"
