Would you like to join a sexy telephone party and talk with hot people all night long?

If so, don’t bother calling 1-855-883-8663. You’ll just hear an ancient recording of former Kentucky Governor A.B. “Happy” Chandler warbling “My Old Kentucky Home.” On the plus side, those hanging in for the full three minutes will get rewarded with a discount code for Kentucky-related merchandise.

This latest endeavor from wacky ad guy and Blue Grass State booster Whit Hiler draws inspiration from tacky commercials that permeated late-night cable TV in the ’80s and ’90s, promising titillating talk for just pennies per minute.
