'Greens' invade radio programs to trick and humiliate listeners

The feds have now invaded live radio across the country. Radio stations are issued instructions for announcers to solicit calls from listeners, then to humiliate them if they're not 'green' enough. This opens up a whole new avenue of mind control by special interests, and works well with a passive electorate:

• (RAB): "While the overall campaign urges parents to drop excuses and start saving energy, the Energy Efficiency Exclusive PSA Campaign is specifically Radio-centric -- designed to optimize Radio's unique
• one-on-one relationship
• with listeners.***

"Dialing for Excuses," an interactive DJ banter promotion, encourages Radio station

• DJs to place random calls to listeners and put them on the spot

• by asking what they did today, did yesterday, and plan to do tomorrow to save energy.

Radio listeners need to defend their excuses or inform participating DJs across the country what they do to save energy.

• Positive answers on energy-saving habits will garner an on-air shout-out to the listener and a station prize.

• Those with excuses will need to "Lose the Excuse" before they are called on again to answer the important energy questions.

The campaign includes on-air banter among station personalities, challenging each other on their energy-efficiency practices

• with live listener interaction, and :10, :15, and :30 scripts for station-produced spots featuring local talent. Additionally, multiple spots are available to accommodate diverse formats."

• ***The "one-on-one relationship" is severed by an antic like this. Totalitarian dictatorships fail to consider these aspects when taking over everything. sm
