AAAAAGH

Boston Medical Center, I appreciate your desire to reach the general public with messages encouraging folks with breasts to show up for mammograms, esp. since this is October and that means Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

But could you PLEASE not do it with ads on Pandora where you have your mammogram machine (which sounds like a middle-aged white woman named Pam or Kimberly or something) sing breast-themed versions of Salt-N-Pepa music into someone's answering machine? I'm allowed to listen to Pandora at work, but I keep having to scramble to hit the mute button on my computer because it goes from nice shapeless calming ambient to LET'S TALK ABOUT BREAST HEALTH PLEASE, LET'S TALK ABOUT-

. . . . that is certainly a choice they made. WTF.

What makes it worse is that they have at least one other ad in this series. The mammogram machine just talks in that one, trying to make whoever it's supposedly phoned up understand the importance of a little annual discomfort. I can leave that one running without muting it, although I turn the volume down a little because ads in general are loud on Pandora.

Guess which one they rerun nine times out of ten.

Of course they do. ARGH. Ad executives why.
