It's a great show essentially talking to advertising people about how advertising permeates culture. It's exactly the type of show that can't be produced on advertiser-supported television.

This is from a segment where they will have two competing advertising executives produce an ad to try and sell a ridiculous concept. In the case above, it was invading New Zealand. This one was to convince people child labour was a good thing.

They were really a bluesy rock band hiding behind a hair metal image. Kind of like Dangerous Toys (far more southern rock than glam), and Saigon Kick (if anything, they were kind of a bridge act between 80s hard rock and 90s grunge).

Jokingly, it needs to be said.

There was a band which did change their name after 9/11, though. New Zealand rock band Shihad changed their name to Pacifier because they thought their old name sounded too much like "Jihad". They eventually did change it back after a few years, though.
