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.

.......or in favor of those much closer to home, who are much more deserving..........
The fuel savings alone would seem to justify that.... Yep, let's kill the close-in
crowd, first. We gotta kill *somebody*, right?

Excellent point. The fuel savings WOULD be enormous......but they would
pale by comparison to the improvement in America's image abroad.
