These CNBC ads are driving me nuts...



I Am CNBC: Charles Gasparino from Broadcasting & Cable on Vimeo.

If you watch CNBC like I do, you probably have noticed that they are running these new ads where they highlight a specific personality that appears on the channel.

This particular ad focuses on Charlie Gasparino, the on-air editor at CNBC. At one point during the piece he says he would be "honored to die on the job" or something to that effect. Are you kidding me???? The last thing most people want to do is die on the job. I can probably think of a thousand better ways to go.

These ads are pretty bad and it seems the most of the finance industry shares the sentiment. It's bad enough we have to see some of these people all day long as they spew their sometimes ludicrous opinions, but then we have to see them again during the commercial break.

Please.......
