Hear Mr Rooter Spot

I’d like to write about something that has generated a lot of talk around the newsroom. It has generated a lot of phone calls. People have a definite opinion. If they don’t like it, they really don’t like it. I’m not talking about Yazeed Essa. I’m not talking about Derek Anderson’s ripping apart Browns fans after his release. I’m not talking about anything President Obama has done. To hear what I’m talking about, click on the link below

This spot for Mr. Rooter has been running now for a few days. Every time it runs, we get a few phone calls. One listener who talked to producer Scott “Scooter” Reese this morning got into a shouting match with Scooter over the spot’s language. He figures they might as well use coarser language (he was being sarcastic). The listener uttered a few obscenities to Scooter and then hung up the phone. That’s typical of a lot of the callers.
Around the newsroom, some have said the spot is disgusting. Others say it’s cute. After all, little kids do pee and poop. And, they clog up toilets. And, if the kids do clog up the toilet, that’s when they REALLY need to pee or poop (it’s the parental derivative of Murphy’s Law).
