I could come up with about 100 or so locally produced spots that fit the "Worst" or "Grotesque" categories. Let's start with Western Siding or the ones where they use their little kids as talent because of course, they are the most beatiful kids in the world... I'm with the others... this was JUST another "Hit Music Station T.V. plugger" They must not get out much… I could come up with about 100 or so locally produced spots that fit the “Worst” or “Grotesque” categories.
