My latest radio spot

Man, clients are funny people.

As you can hear, one of the characters is named "Finklestein." We had a part in the spot where the character corrects the moderator's pronunciation of his name. We all thought it was cute, but the client was given a little too much time to think about it, and after a while, decided that it might offend some people.

The account executive and I are both Jewish, so we both assured her it wouldn't offend Jews.

"No, but it might offend people named Finklestein."

One of the writers here is named Finklestein. We got him on the phone, and he reassured us from the Finklestein demographic.

Regardless, she insisted that it be taken out. I love this business, and all of the people in it.
