October moment
Oct. 26th, 2010 10:41 amOne of the things which I have been reading lately is a series of posts which the blogger refers to as
October moments
http://masthead.blogspot.com/2010/10/october-moment.html
and yesterday I had one of my own.
I have been having lots of fun exploring all the radio stations I can receive on my
accessible talking HD radio
http://kestrell.livejournal.com/606085.html
which, as I mentioned in my review, has a synthetic voice that sounds like a Japanese anime schoolgirl. Typically, the voice merely announces things like the position of the radio dial and/or the call letters of the radio station, but yesterday it began deviating from the script in order to tell me all about
Canobie Lake Park Screamfest in Salem New Hampshire
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWB5UNAHyuQ .
It turns out that the voice used for these advertisements sounds almost identical to the synthetic voice used for the HD radio, except the voice for the Screamfest advertisements has a slightly British pronounciation, and both voices are definitely creepy cousins of the Little Sisters in Bioshock (I was looking for a really good link to go here but couldn't find one).
Canobie Park Screamfest also has this other series of ads featuring Ozzie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBsZfuToNCo
which I thought was somewhat amusing, although far less scarey.
