Catching Criminals with Radio Commercials

RightThisMinute description:

Criminals made off with thousands of dollars worth of rims and tires from a Canadian car dealership. The owner was so upset that he broadcast a radio ad that would reward anyone for information leading to the criminals arrest. We wanted to find out if it worked or not, so we talked to the dealership owner himself.

This program plays in the Seattle area. I see promos for it all the time.

People sitting around watching videos and talking about them. For 30 minutes a day.

Ugh. This thing grates on my nerves.

It was only curiosity about the commercial's success that got to watch even this two minute segment. And so I upvote for answering the question posed on the related vid.

bareboards2says...

I know. It was the only thing that could get me to watch even 132 seconds of this "program".

Did this show bother you, too, as presumably someone who didn't know it existed until you were google searching an answer to the Giles question? (Dear God, please tell me this show isn't exported downunder!!!!)

That's why I posted it Marty Giles is the star of this vid (and the other one!).

oritteroposays...

No, not at all. To the uninitiated it seemed quite innocuous.

I was actually just going to post to recommend skipping just past the end to see the only newsworthy portion.

I hate this kind of format. No one cares what the talking heads think. Just give us the news and get your face off camera you narcissistic whores.

It's worse than that -- the show "Right This Minute" is an entire THIRTY MINUTES of talking heads watching popular videos and commenting on them.

It makes one video at the end of a newscast seem okay, in comparison.

But only in comparison.

Wow. It sounds like this video is miserable to watch, so will someone break it down for me? Did they catch anyone? (I'm doubtful.) Were the rims returned? (I should expect not!)

oritteroposays...

I think if you've never heard of the show, then this vid would might be fine... but if you're acquainted with it then it won't... you could just skip to about the 90 second mark and just watch the interview with Marty Giles.

Your expectations are spot on, they didn't catch anybody and no rims were returned... in fact a few weeks later they lost more.
