America to Hit a Despicable New Low with BusRadio... Remember riding in those yellow school buses to and from school? Well, those buses are about to become the symbol of American Commercial Totalitarianism... say hello to the new company called BusRadio!
This post was deleted for the following reason: self link, quit it.
I'm not sure what would be worse: Listening to BusRadio or Clear Channel...

At least it will distract the kids' minds from riding without seatbelts. My city's buses already have TV's w/ ads inside them and are plastered w/ ads on the outside.

The site is nice, there is some interesting anti marketing tidbit here and there and it will take you 10 seconds to find them ! Plus if you print this page and send it to Matt you will obtain an instant $69 rebate , but you must print it on vellum ! Sorry, but it's to save forest.

Regardless of the way the post was constructed, playing ads on school buses is awful.
"Despicable" is definitely appropriate, even if it's a cut-and-paste.

Why is it despicable? The school system pumps advertisements through to kids all the time. Corporate sponsors are responsible for better fields, as long as their name is right next to the scoreboard. And there are plenty of vending machines in school halls.
Are we mad at the advertising, or the fact that the bus company will be profitting off this rather than the school system itself?
