I hear their jingle probably at least 25 times every single day on the radio and am sick of it. Is this a scam? I give to the Salvation Army locally. Almost all of the money goes to help people in need, not for expensive cars and homes for the executives.

From what I understand it is to send Jewish kids to private school. They sure don’t tell you on the ads what they do with the money.

Those #&%)($*% jingles are a big part of what led me to start listening to delayed talk radio podcasts commercial-free online. Mark Levin’s are free and often available a few hours after the live show.

I'm getting ready to donate my old SUV, and I will never donate it to an organization that inundates the airwaves like Kars4Kids does. This is one of those examples of an advertiser who chases customers away through repetitive, senseless noise over the year.

The old electronics store chain Crazy Eddie was another example of this.

This site evaluates charities. A military charity might be a good place to donate.

I have donated to the Col. North and Sean Hannity effort to provide college for kids whose parents died in battle. They purport that they do not take a salary for those efforts.

They play that jingle in the Twin Cities too.

If a Minnesotan contributes does the money end up in New Jersey?

I literally turn that jingle off when I hear the first note. I’ve never listened to the entire jingle. I hate that accursed thing beyond words.

That's one of the most annoying of all jingles. When I hear it, I turn to another station.
