If I hear that "Kars for Kids" commercial one more time

I’m going to tear off my clothes, pick up a meat cleaver and run off screaming into the night.

Sounds about right. Plus they aren't wasting any money on a new commercial; this one was mothballed for awhile... Hekate 1 hr ago #11

But, they are on the CharityWatch alert list.
Very high administrative costs, advertising & marketing budgets greater than the amounts actually directed to charities, hidden distributions going to ultra-Orthodox Jewish organizations with suspect charitable credentials, misleading public reporting.
Not sure we can call it a scam, but it sure smells funny.

…and now has returned more cloying and annoying than ever.
Thank G-d (so to speak) for the Mute button on my clicker.

Now they want your house too. Apparently just begging for people's old beaters isn't producing the revenue they need.

It does seem to be universally despised, and with good reason.
