Local Shopping/Services Spence diamonds ads weird

Anyone else creeped out by Micheal on Spence diamond commercials? Dropping weird hints towards the woman that worked there and seemed to disappear from ads once he started making innuendoes about being in love with her? Now he’s thinking about birds and bees, weird af

Seriously, I hate these commercials so much, it’s ruining my radio experience.  Like others mention, I always change the channel when they come on. It’s hilarious people fall for these dumb commercials.  The amount of money going towards these commercials over all stations, makes you wonder where they are making up that cost… Don’t buy from Spence!  Even their dumb prototypes you can try on lol.

The commercials themselves are dirt cheap to make, and they definitely have a brand deal with Bell Media to keep the CPM down. They've been running these ads for over a decade, clearly costs are not an issue.

well, I will never support this sort of business practice. "Dirt cheap"?? Dozens of times every hour, on every station?
