Maybe you've heard food stamp public service announcements before. Maybe you haven't. But when Glenn Beck did on Tuesday, he couldn't contain himself.

Beck's co-host Pat Gray brought up the commercials on Beck's radio show. While the commercials have been around since 2008 -- with the help of your tax dollars -- the Beck radio team couldn't resist having some fun with the spots after Gray heard them in the car recently.

In the taxpayer-funded radio commercials, you can hear paid actors talk about how they are “making a healthy meal together with a little help from SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program],” or how the program “helps you eat right when money’s tight.”
