Choose the more reputable form of advertising to the masses
Here's the situation: You are the marketing manager for a small firm that manufactures a healthcare product in a category only slightly more reputable than snake oil. I dunno...penis enlargement tablets or something.

Anyway, you need to market your firm to millions quickly, cheaply and easily. Would you...

a) Buy three spots a day on one of the right-wing hatefests--OxyRush, Hannity, SavageWeiner...

***OR***

b) Start sending spam?

I ask this because of the recent spate of "New OxyRush/Hannity/SavageWeiner advertiser" threads. With very few exceptions, these guys' sponsors are used car lots, chromium picolinate pushers and fly-by-night "insurance" companies.

Who, were it not for hate radio, would be forced to send spam to advertise. Considering who their advertising dollars are supporting, spam would be more honorable.
