Commercial on television this morning.

"America is the greatest country on Earth, and as an American, YOU deserve a Dish Network system from Blah Blah Satellite company!"

They then went on to list the fabulous benefits of Dish Network and the screamin' deal they were going to give you to get hooked up.

All done over a loud bed of music - the tune to "My Country 'Tis Of Thee."

I have finally found a use for this icon: :puke:

4. No, no, no.

I know it wasn't because this was an AMERICAN commercial about how AMERICANS deserve a good deal on satellite television.

Don't you know that's an AMERICAN song? Screw the Brits and the Canadians!

5. These people are unbelievable. They are using our country and religion to

make money. Have you received an email from "the Christian Finance Company"? I did and of course it said I could trust them for the best rates on borrowing money since the company was operated by christians. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE ONES I WOULD NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AND WOULD NOT TRUST!

6. George Soros has a large stake in Dish Network

and, their programming is better than Rupert Murdoch's Direct TV.

7. Well, that wasn't really the point.

The commercial was for a local company that sells Dish Network, not Dish Network itself.

8. I understand

But, any local person that installs Dish likely had to get approval from Dish central...

I'm sure there is no political test to install Dish, however.
