How come no one gets excited about that?

I don't drink Buds nor Millers and don't smoke Marlboros nor Camels.

But seriously, the folks that pay for that commercial have to answer to a
board of directors and shareholders.

Well, the putative point of today's little exercise is that the folks who
benefit from political ads......and by extension, those who pay for
them.....are answerable to someone too. Debatable, to be sure, but an
interesting point of view, nevertheless.

And in your specific example you won't
find commercials over the air for cigarettes and alcohol advertising does
have some boundaries.

Political advertising has boundaries as well. Try to imagine, for instance,
someone hiring.......oh......say, ME to run their campaign ads.

innocents abroad.
