College Humor's Ad For NYC's Most Detestable Light Rock Station

From the kids behind the Harvey Danger lip-synctraveganza comes this spot for Power 102 FM, the lightest rock in NYC. On the plus side, they don't spin Hootie. On the minus ... well, watch. And you thought you couldn't hate the FM rock format any more.

Hey! What's wrong with Hootie?

That was brilliant. I didn't even realize it was called WHIT POWER until it got increasingly more racist.

Easily the funniest thing I've seen in quite a long time.

Also, was this some sort of jab at WPLJ? Because, I mean, they probably held on the longest before completely selling out even in spite of their bizarre no rap policy.

That also being said, can we (the people) demand that the FCC revoke 106.7's broadcast license?

Number of black people seen on that wacky, Harvey Danger-fueled tour of the CollegeHumor.com office: 0.

I'm just sayin'...

yeah, no shit, I bet there were'nt even any Itals in that office. Besides, rap sucks now. Why is there something wrong with having a policy against something that sucks, even if they other stuff they play sucks? There's a lot of suck out there. I'd personally like to hear a little less shitty music blasting out of car stereos in my neighborhood.

Also, taste is subjective. Just had to remind myself.
