00:34 - A little too much honesty, perhaps?

BayAreaJobFinder.com has been airing these weird, weird ads late at night by a "Dr. David Batstone" who sits behind a desk like a personal injury attorney and issues proclamations such as:
Most employees, on the day of their termination, express surprise. Yet upon reflection, they realize there were certain signs that should have warned them that the end was coming, if they'd just connected the dots. Just remember: just because your last employer may have been happy to get rid of you, doesn't mean that somebody else won't be happy to employ your brains, skills, and work ethic.
And
Have you ever been forced to choose between your sense of business ethics and your job? Many employees in the technology sector have found themselves asked to do things by their employers that they themselves found objectionable. Just remember, even though you may have been fired for refusing to compromise your principles, another employer might be happy to hire you for those very principles.
Just a tad direct, don'tcha think? I mean, I suppose I can't argue with either one of those sentiments, but I don't think I've ever seen such raw honesty in that kind of ad before...
