    Going to be interesting to see if they adapt their messaging to be more explicit about who their beneficiaries are, or just stop soliciting in CA. Seems like a good chunk of their donations could come from CA, so it'd be a big loss. Maybe they'll instead spin up some CA-based beneficiaries so they can maintain their mission without having to be more explicit about who is benefiting exactly.

    I remember being delighted how the scene skewered an unexpected but very deserving target.

      In California, I remember KFI AM640 ran this ad for a good long time. IIRC in the mornings, during commute times.

    > Kids in need aren’t even really the target of the organization’s financial efforts. Instead, those go to 17- and 18-year-olds seeking gap-year trips to Israel and their families.

    This is priceless.

    OMG, I thought those ads were annoying but this tops it off.

    As a non-American, I never really bothered looking up if this was just a weird Family Guy joke. There you go.

    The broadcast companies that have been selling air time to K4K for two decades should be held accountable for misleading advertising. Oh wait, the broadcasters own the US Congress and federal regulators. Never mind.
