In order to clear up any confusion after the previous entry, college football is still the greatest thing ever.

If one listens to the right kind of sports talk radio, this fact will be abundantly clear. Whether or not the "right" kind of sports talk radio is being listened to, a few other truths are hammered home. This is because streaming radio broadcasts on the internet creates a phenomenon that is interesting, amusing and basically irrelevant all at once. Local commercials are preempted on the internet broadcast in favor of public service announcements and the like.

The cause of choice for internet sports radio appears to by the devastating cyclone a few months ago in Myanmar. Not to make light of the situation at all, but it is funny to hear the PSAs because the basic concept is a celebrity talking about the event and imploring the listening public to aid relief efforts through charitable contributions and such. Some of the celebrities most often featured are Ben Stiller, Tea Leoni...and Nicole Richie...with Joel Madden. Apparently the Richie/Madden duo has become quite the power couple for children awareness. A little further research indicates they have founded a charity for kids and then there's this PSA. There's no reason to make fun of this, but it is odd to see how some celebrities actually stumble into a positive light, whereas most seem to find the darkness quite often. Good for them, yeah?

Among the other gems heard most often is a PSA for McGruff the Crime Dog. Always a personal favorite, it is pretty fun to hear that now. The strange part is that the refrain of the commercial is a song being sung by a little girl. Normally this isn't a big deal, but what makes it odd is that she's singing the address of where McGruff prevents crime and such. Mind you, she isn't singing a website address, a la "FreeCreditReport.com", but a physical location, complete with zip code. It's hard to understand exactly what is being said, but it has been confirmed as "Scruff McGruff, Chicago, Illinois, 60652. Just to relieve any curiosity, McGruff does have a MySpace page.

The other commercial that immediately comes to mind is for the Country Music Hall of Fame and its (Hank) Williams Family exhibit, entitled something clever like "Family Tradition". The main drawing point mentioned in the commercial is that a skateboard belonging to Hank III is part of the exhibit and, OMG, what is a skateboard doing at the Country Music Hall of Fame? Truly riveting stuff. I almost can't go spend the admission fee fast enough.
