      I was watching TV and a Tide (detergent) commercial comes on. I started skanking in my chair…then I stopped. Hhaha, puzzed I was. It had a ska sound to it.

      Any one else find ska hidden around the mainstream?

      yes, I listen to 99.9 kisw The Rock of Seattle and sometimes when someones talking they'll play either Alternative, Baby or Sell out in the background and also a while back on a Blockbuster sale commercial on the radio I heard A-W-E-S-O-M-E in the background.

      There was some comercial for like HD radio or Sirius satelite or something, and there was this really upbeat ska number in the background, almost like The Pietasters kind of sort of. It made me skank while driving (not sure how safe I was driving at that point in time, lol)

      i was walking in the mall and heard a faint playing of Reel Big Fish's S.R in Hot Topic. So I went in for the song and it was the clean version, then left immediately after because Hot Topic is not punk rock. Thats the most recent thing I heard aside from the occasional sublime song in the background of a commercial.

      I heard RBF at journeys once. I went in and the girl said that they were going to play them all day. I would have stayed, but she was creeping me out.

      rbf is quite popular with frat boys, as made apparent by every college show they play.
