Wait, I assumed it was always the same one doing the unhealthy children's ad. You may be right. I think it's two different hospitals in an advertising war. Are Shriner's and St. Jude's different?
Yes.
Similar competition between DAV and Tunnels to Towers in that space. [Reply]

But I wonder if they have any money for treating unhealthy children when they spend 90 percent of their revenues on television ads.
This and Shriners hospital and the dogs that are being abused. I wonder what the percentages are. I have donated and raised money to the children’s hospital (oh shit I’m watching gunsmoke and the st Jude commercial just came on) you can donate directly to your local pet rescue. [Reply]
They all get muted... granted, these damn bowl games jump to commercial every 30 seconds, which gets annoying and then I just leave it on mute because fuck 'em. [Reply]

Yep. The mute button remains one of the best inventions of all time. If only I could find one that would work on my wife sometimes. [Reply]
