"At least three Boston TV stations have received complaints from viewers, who say the ad for MIKE-FM (WMKK-93.7) is too risque. The stations have taken from a handful to about 75 complaints each about the commercial titled “Keep it On,” prompting some stations to move it to later time slots where young viewers will be less likely to see it."

Just some more crap from the company that gave us a convicted felon on the air...a murder suspect host (New Orelans)...an insurance fraud host (Seattle) ....death of a contestant (Sacramento)....etc, etc, etc.

They busted the union in Boston and Seattle (then sold the Seattle station) ...fired the entire news department in Boston (who needs to hear the news, right?)

Now they parade a half naked pregnant woman on the TV screen, thinking this is good for the community.

What a fine, upstanding corporation.

Random radio = no DJs to pay. El cheapo. Though maybe someone there picks what tunes go into
the glorified mp3 player on shuffle and they do pay the "Mike voice" and John O'Hurley or whatever
his name is (guy that was on Seinfeld) to do the liners.

I cant believe people are trying to get that video banned. It was tacky, yes... but hardly worth any controversy.

Kids see much worse everyday... its called the news.

Just saw the obscene Mike FM commercial on Channel 5 which passes itself off as being above the other stations.

Why would any station run that spot and why would anyone think of turning to a radio station that show a fat slob mooning the camera and an equal fat and ugly woman exposing her obsese belly as a reason to turn to that station.

It would win the most ugly and pointless commercial on television and demonstrates again the coarsening of America when mooning and fat obsese women are seen as an advertising advantage. It also demonstates again the principle that most radio executives who would approve such a spot are have come out of the radio sales department and are generally sleazeballs who are about ten steps below used car salesmen...not to insult used car salesmen. Still, most radio executives who come out of sales have the ethics of a common street walker ...again not to insult street walkers.

Perhaps, this poster's view is colored by the sleazeball who worked for THE Talk station and touched everything including the third rail and didn't seem to care if his wife and three kids knew that every advertising agency media buyer knew the size and color of his....underwear. Don't have to be an ichthyologist to figure this one out.

it's just a dumb commercial... more stupid than shocking.

You know, maybe I've been out of the loop for too long, or I have a penchant for the bizarre, but I thought that that ad was fairly creative and pretty well produced. (Not crazy about seeing a pregnant belly, but it was produced in a time frame where pregnant is pretty and it makes a statement that even pregnant people listen to radio and we don't exclude them, which is a nice sentiment.)

Mind you, I wouldn't keep it in rotation for very long, maybe a month or so, but I think the overall message is this station has fun with things.

On the other hand, I sincerely doubt they live up to the ad's image. That would be the only problem I have with it.

Now here's an ad worth banning! ;D

... better than any of the Bob's Furniture commercials. Although I think seeing it four or five times during a Sox game would probably increase the incidence of remote controls thrown through the picture tube!
