False commercials?  Well, WBCN certainly did not think up that idea--what
about: A Prairie Home Companion, Saturday Night Live, Bob and Ray, Loman and
Barkly (KFI), Gary Owens (formerly KMPC) ... (not to mention not-regularly
broadcast sources of false commercials such as PDQ Bach and "Apple Gunkies").
False commercials are presented as humor, and as such don't deserve any such
public service announcement credit.
