2. SiriusXM sports channels' ads are equally depressing

They ALSO have life insurance ads and some guy selling "timeshare cancellation."

You haven't lived until you've been rolled up on a NASCAR race and heard first a plug for BlueGreen Vacations, The Official Vacation Ownership Provider of NASCAR, then almost immediately a plug for Wesley Financial Group, The Leader in Timeshare Cancellation.

Then come the life insurance companies. You've got someone named Ethos Life, whose sales strategy revolves around a commercial where a wife is nagging her husband to get life insurance because of a horrible dream she had about hubby being killed and her and the kids having to move out of the house because they couldn't afford it anynore. Then there's "Term Providers," who is run by someone named Big Lou. Big Lou's like you, he's fucked-up too. Oh yeah, and then there's a company that buys life insurance policies.

There are seven or eight outfits who want you to donate your car to them and at least one doesn't require a title, which makes me wonder....what happens when your neighbor who hates you donates your car to charity and they tow it off while you're at work?
