Ham Radio cheese commercial!

[loosecannon]

has anyone seen this yet?

i was watching "shark tank" last night on my DVR and saw a velveeta commerical that was about amateur radio.

can you believe it? a TV commercial where the subject of the ad was ham radio?

i for one thought it was very cool!

maybe im late to the party because it was uploaded to youtube as long ago as 8 months.

anyway, here is a link if you havent seen it yet:

I forgot about that add. I do remember seeing it on TV.

Your pie chart is hilarious. I used to be a trucker and I had the CB on a lot. I'd say that chart is dead on accurate.

It's a subliminal message. They are trying to tell you amateur radio is a cheesy hobby.

Yeah. I saw it earlier this fall on Thursday night football. I thought it was very cool. And, yeah, we are a little cheesy!

 

[loosecannon]

Take a very close look at the 'ham' radio they show....it seems it is on channel 33
