[YT="WW_dBQPAeDY"][/YT] This, apparently, is a real commercial running in the UK. I suppose that means the rise in defaulted mortgages is not just the fault of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Oh dammit. I thought I'd figured that thing out, but haven't embedded a you tube clip here in years. Here's the link. http://youtu.be/WW_dBQPAeDY
OMG, can you imagine if that ad ran, over here? Talk about the FBI the DHS going totally nuts. Not just regular over the top nuts, but rabid dog foaming at the mouth nuts! "how dare you people question the wisdom of our government and wall street? Off with your fucking heads!"
Ask any poster, any real poster and they'll tell you: It doesn't matter if it's by a week or a minute, reposts are reposts.
That's precisely the point. The kneejerk WF Righty reaction to any mention of the mortgage debacle is "FANNIEFREDDIEFANNIEFREDDIEFANNIEFREDDIE, Gubmint Regulation, and fuck anyone who says anything about Countrywide and Citigroup, because - because - well, because, and fuck you, that's why!"
You gotta have a better opening line than that! Besides, we Americans have no idea what an "advert" is. It's a commercial to us.
