Check the out. My friend got it in an e-mail and sent it on to me.

This is all it says:

Hey Kids, want free mp3s? Learn more about the Army National Guard!

When you click on the link, here's where it takes you:

They are really getting down and dirty. The desperation makes me embarrassed for my country. What's the difference between a recruiter and a $2.00 hooker?

2. Hey Kids?

You'd think they would approach them as young adults vs kids!

3. Maybe they are marketing to kids

you know, give them "neat stuff" so that they will run off and join when they are 18. Why not? They already have JROTC in high schools and now middle schools. Just heard a piece on NPR the other day about two people from the same middle sized town who were killed in Iraq-one 18, one early 20s-both had been in JROTC, had joined up as soon as they could.

5. That's what the tabbaco companies did and are still doing now.

Beer companies too. A beer commercial is a dozen young peoplle having more fun in 30 seconds than I do in a year.

6. There's probably a chip inside the MP3 Player..........

that repeats subliminal messages to "join the army", "defend your country", "president bush is great". I'd check these things out, they've shown how low they'll stoop, and you can always expect them to lower the bar from there.
