Oddest commercial jingle award

[clevermanka]

This award goes to a commercial that just finished playing on the radio. It's a guy singing about how you should choose this one particular clinic for your MRI. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the name of the clinic over the phone conversation at the next desk and the A/C blowing right above my head, but I heard very clearly "the natural choice, when you need an MRI."

And yes, this is a jingle. The guy is actually *singing*. It's just very very odd.

UPDATE: I just heard the commercial again. It's by Topeka Imaging. If you need an MRI, I would suggest that you do not go to Topeka Imaging.

MRIs and jingles don't mix

Okay, this is SUCH a Kansas thing. Surreal, in a "God Hates Kansas" sort of way. Makes one wonder if it's a serious ad.

Well the company paid to produce it and put it on the radio, so I would assume they anticipate increased business from it. And I doubt that it's a joke ad since it's funny. Most joke ads (except for old SNL ones) are just kind of lame.

It played again this morning and I caught the line "Don't wanna put my head in a tube" or something like that. God I wish I could find a transcript of the thing. Already did a web search yesterday. No dice.
