Death by (violin) firing squad?

This is a funny ad

A teenage boy in jeans, baseball cap and teen attire is against the wall screaming, while four groomed men in formal tuxedos are playing the violins.

Another ad shows a punkish looking youth with spiked hair put in a guillotine that is made of the pan flute

This is probably alludes to the Francisco de Goya's famous painting Third of May 1808: Execution of the defenders of Madrid.

I laughed at the ad at first, but then realized that for me it is the reverse. I like classical music, and almost nothing else. So, I am in the reverse situation with Rock, Jazz and all that other noise they call music. I am being bombarded by that all the time.

Even CBC Radio 2, one of the last bastions of classical, has switched to mostly jazz in the evenings. Classical 96 FM does not have a decent reception here in the Kitchener Waterloo area. Their internet stream is of low quality.

Sigh ...
