    This is trivial, but before seeing the above clip my favorite insultingly argued commercial this week was a Time Warner Cable spot about a dispute it's having with "the networks." No info whatsoever is provided except that beneficent Time Warner doesn't want you, dear cable subscriber, TO LOSE YOUR SHOWS!

    "So what should we do?," the voiceover actor asks in a he-man voice. "Fight or Roll Over? Go to Fight or Roll Over Dot Com and tell us."

    Dear Time Warner Cable:

    Roll over and play dead until you can write an ad that presents something that touches on the issues. Also, reinstate the old channel selection system. Everyone hates the new one.

    Happy Holidays,

    S. J.

    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Which is actually a pretty substantial thing to fear.

    Almost 99% of the people here who watched this ad are elitist, intellectual snobs.

    " I guess (*gulp*) I'm an elitist, intellectual snob!"

    For the love of Mike.

    I rather enjoyed this video, as I mentally replaced the word 'racist' with 'asshole'.

    It's nice to hear people be honest about themselves, yes?

    It is telling that the target audience needs a bouncing ball to follow along.

    I like the docs, as if a stethoscope automatically says "naaaah, I'm not really a racist."

    Oh, and just HOW hungry does an actor have to be to make a POS like this? I mean, there's still porn before you sink THIS low.

    I only WISH Obama were planning a total take-over of the health care system. Does that make me a racist?

    I wonder how many of them actually are racist. I'm looking at you, old white guy.

    What a dishonest crock of shit ad anyway. Jimmy Carter was talking about the lunatic tea party protesters who came out for the protests holding signs of Obama with a bone through his nose, and other classy displays of that ilk. Those tards would have been doing the same thing no matter what the issue; it had nothing to do with health care.

    You know, if they'd only substituted the word 'asshole' for for the word 'racist', the ad would be perfect.

    12%? So?
    I mean, over 50% of registered Republicans think Obama wasn't born in the U.S.
    12% ain't nuthin'. Pull your panties out of your asscrack and get over it!

    If you watch this video, then look at this ad you can only come to one conclusion: Earnest white people are hilarious!

    Waiting patiently for the health care reform is colorblind (aka: we are all a part of the healthy rainbow!) counter campaign.
