That might explain why I’ve been hearing a new radio commercial for them, updating the jingle into a faster paced version, almost rock music sounding.

Nah, they've had that one for a few years now.

Maybe the SCOTUS can make this ban permanent everywhere in the US. One can dream, can't one?

It's not actually a ban.

Kars4Kids ads are now banned in the state until there’s “an express, audible disclosure” of the charity’s religious affiliation, the region of where the money goes and a more accurate age range of the recipients.

So once they ad disclosure, the ads can return.

If you really want full disclosure for the suckers donors who aren't in the tri-state area, Kars4Kids should be forced to include a five second clip of their board of directors in every airing of the revised spots. Complete with their Hasidic outfits, the black hats, the beards and payes (sidelocks), etc. Give potential donors the full experience.

I mean seriously, who donates cars and/or land and/or jewelry to a charity that they know nothing about except for a radio or TV ad? (Oh, probably the same folks who send Don Jr and Eric a free $100 for the right to buy a gold "Trump" phone that's two year old technology from a Chinese company you've never heard of, that they will likely never get, and could have been purchased new on Amazon for $126.)

I believe you were correct the first time with the word 'suckers.' I might add the words 'con artist's mark' too.

Considering how the Supreme Court rolls these days, I'm sure they are on the take from organizations like these. I'd expect a 6-3 decision allowing it, or even expanding it further.

There's this guy on YouTube that roasted the Kars4Kids TV ads so much that Kars4Kids contacted the guy and told him he should produce the next Kars4Kids ad. What you heard was the finished product.
