    So what you're saying is I can go ahead and laugh even louder at the people who watch Fox News, especially now that I know they're getting their just desserts? Awesome.

    Another hilarious fear-based advertiser you'll hear during Hannity and Rush is "Carbonite!" .. They pitch this product that backs up your entire harddrive to the internet so you can retrieve it anywhere!. Cuz, you know, these people are sucker enough to click on the flapping penguin to win free AA batteries and have their whole hd aped...

    As Smerconish put it to POLITICO, "Those who are most concerned about government growth are increasingly dubious about the value of a dollar and look at gold as something they can see, feel, touch, appreciate."

    I don't understand this. Gold's value appreciates and depreciates much like legal tender does, just on a bigger scale. You would need a friggin doubloon just to be big willie with the gold unless you're Mr. T with crazy truck jewelry even though even that form is highly diluted by that point.

    Meanwhile, i have all my money in orange juice futures.

    @misslinda: Classic.

    P.S. Your 'Dunkin Wilbur,' in addition to making me very hungry, reminds me of the notorious Luther Burger, invented in Decatur, Ga., and responsible for myocardial infarctions everywhere, which, in place of the standard bun, used a grilled glazed donut.

    @AzureTexan: I've been trying to remember what the hell that thing's called. We got a doughnut place here recently that serves burgers (I seem to be the only person that noticed) and we debate daily about whether they have burgers on doughnut buns on the menu. No, we haven't actually checked with the doughnut joint yet.

    This is actually highly illegal and violates FCC standards. You can have Ads bumpering segments but if you're doing a segment specifically pushing a product for pay, you have to disclose that relationship within the segment. Much how in magazines you'll have paid-for pages that looks like articles but they're actually long-form Ads so the magazine has to indicate on the top of each page that it's an advertisement even though it's mimicking the writing and style of the rest of the mag.

    I used to work in Continuity in radio and this was a huge deal. Stations would get severe fines and lose licenses over stuff like that... hint, hint.

    @Magister: You know what? Good question. I had no idea so i did a quick google and I hope this is it.

    [www.fcc.gov]

    Where the cablecast advertises commercial products or services, a mention of the corporate or trade name is usually considered sufficient. Sponsorship identification announcements must also be made before and after certain material if inducements are given to the cable system in exchange for cablecasting the material.

    I wonder if this is the application or do I have research further? Prob the latter.

    This explains a lot. If we can follow Mr. Epstein's remarks to their logical conclusion then I guess the idea that Obama's socialist spending is going to crash the dollar, cause super inflation and a collapse of the social order is, well, bought and paid for bullshit.

    But wouldn't a thinking person have reached that conclusion a long time ago?

    @Claire Buoyant: Probably after those horrible ads were revealed as a huge scam. There were reports that they were not weighing the gold fairly and adding insult to injury by paying significantly less than it was worth anyway. They gotta make their ill-gotten gains somehow!

    My wife told me GB would go away as soon as he said something nutty enough. I told her he's just doing his job of saying a bunch of nutty things.

    So the legit sponsors fled. Big deal. GB attracts a certain demographic that is manna from Heaven for just these sort of flim-flam artists. They make money, News Corp. makes money, GB gets a fat raise. Everybody's happy.
