93.7 put out this commercial recently - it's odd for sure - but offensive? Well, the pregnant woman is just weird - but offensive? Enough to have people calling the stations to have it removed? Really? I just can't understand the time people have in their lives.

DMHj and I were just talking about this. Brilliance in comedy used to mean being edgy and honest...think All in the Family. Now shows that even come close to that are all on cable - South Park, etc. One could make the argument that The Simpsons comes close...hmm, both cartoons - is that why they are tolerated?

Every now and then you need to see, do or say something "wrong" in order to find the right.

Also, if one more marketing/ad group comes up with another contest revolving around "YOU make it!" They should be shot.

Seeing the pregnant woman comes as a shock every time I see the commercial, but I’ve never once thought it was offensive. People really need to relax.

As for the “You Make It” campaigns, all they say to me is “We’ve realized we don't know you people and the market as well as we thought we did. Please tell us how to take more efficient advantage of you.”
