I don't know how many of you guys listen to the radio, but Continental has a commercial that's been airing lately that makes me want to stab my ears with a fork.

To promote the ability to download music on flights (I'm not too sure what they're offering since it's tough to hear over my screams of agony) they have a pilot speaking on the PA in a half singing voice.

Horrible. Singing. Corny beyond belief. Painful to listen to.

Anyone else catch it?

Yes in fact it was just on again this morning driving to work. It is perhaps the worst airline commercial I've ever heard. A five dollar promotion isn't going to get me to fly Continental and certainly not some pilot singing.

I have XM Radio, no sappy commercials if I am listening to music.

Never thought I would enjoy paying for radio, but it's well worth it.

You and me both, John. I've had Sirius for about a year & a half, I'll never go back, especially if I can avoid commercials like this one!

Oh!! I've heard this many times, I don't think it can get any worse. When it was playing I actually said OK whatever airline this is I will never give them a dime of my money or fly on them because of the horrible marketing. They could spin that product off better but instead they put that ad on!! I hate it so much!!
