There's one song which has a section that sounds like my mum calling me down for dinner. I still instinctively rip off my earphones and check, even after having moved out decades ago
Did that door open in the video, or the back of my house?
Is the cat meowing in the background of the Claire Saffitz video, or two rooms away in my own home?
Cars honking in radio commercials
Now, I would never advocate barricading the doors and burning down an ad agency. I'd also never suggest placing faux fall slowing structures around a building to encourage executives to escape acrid smoke via seemingly painless expeditiousness. I'd least of all imply that fire departments have finite resources and setting five fires likely leaves one free to do its necessary work.
What I do assert is that honking in radio ads is deleterious to my mental health.
