Please, no more

There are two things I am tired of hearing on the radio.

1. News about the financial crisis. Everytime I turn on the radio I hear about recessions, depressions, mortgage defaults, retrenchments, slow-downs, rescue plans, bail-outs and “it’s going to get worse before it gets better”. I know the journalists are “just reporting”, but I can’t help but wonder if the more it’s reported on, a) the worse people feel, and b) the more people are prompted to fear and act irrationally. Ignoring the problem won’t make it go away, but reporting on it constantly won’t make it any better either.

2. Being asked if I suffer from premature ejaculation. It seems that ever time I turn on the radio I’m asked “do you suffer from premature ejaculation?” I’m also told that “thousands of Aussie men are calling [company name] every day” about their problems. Really? Anyway, I’ve heard your advertisement, and I don’t need your nasal delivery technology.

On a related note, I visited the company’s website and they have chosen some interesting graphics to visually represent these problems:

    Ahh Bro, you need to listen to Triple J… no one on the happy ABC airwaves cares what your willy is doing. And because they all have public sector jobs they’ll be unscathed by the financial crisis.
