HALLELUJAH! The Most Annoying TV Commercial in History Was Just Banned From the Airwaves in California (VIDEO) A California judge has permanently banned Kars4Kids commercials from the state’s airwaves after a trial found the ads misled donors about how their money is used. The court ruled that Kars4Kids violated California’s False Advertising Law and Unfair Competition Law. Evidence showed that over 60% of the charity’s funds go to Oorah, an Orthodox Jewish outreach organization, for purposes such as trips to Israel and adult matchmaking services, rather than primarily benefiting local underprivileged children.
