My husband channel surfs through the commercials so I miss most of them.
Well have you seen the “STAPLES” commercial with the kid playing with a labeler? The mom has one of those “easy” buttons?
In the background, on the wall of the kids room, is a very communist looking poster with the date “MAY 1ST” in very bold letters at the bottom.
I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Marketing to the Obama Generation. That’s also purpose of Zero’s address to the schools Tuesday.
If so count me out of the Boycott Windex threads that may ensue.
I buy what ever is on sale/cheapest with coupon and double coupon.
Except for scrubbing bubbles product, worthless foul smelling cleaner IMO.
Mr Clean is a good cheap product esp. if it is on the Market under the Mexican label.
I think this is the ad being referred to:

Maybe someone can screen cap and post the offending image here.
I think it was the O.C. where one of the high school kids on the show had a Che poster hanging in their room. The producers of shows for teenagers and college kids have been doing stuff like this a long time. 90210 was the same way and became much more political in the final seasons. I remember them specifically attacking capitalism/business success, pushing environmentalism, pushing gay marriage and adoption and acceptance of the gay lifestyle (and labeling those with opposing views as bigots). They also pushed the idea of abortion as a acceptable alternative. Oh and I cannot forget the episode where Brandone gets stranded in a town of white hicks who got their kicks picking on the only black girl in town. It became unwatchable (and I wasn’t even very political at the time).
I keep seeing charles manson in that vid.
I noticed that in the Staples ad - is it the same artist.as the zero Hope poster? If so, at least they didn’t put that poster in the bakground.
This thread could end up along the same lines as the previous one.
I think this is the Staples ad:

My vision is not what it use to be so I am not sure what either post is supposed to be.
Looks like a Bob Marley poster to me.
I don’t think it’s Che. Looks more like some rocker to me.
I think you’re right - Bob Marley
It’s not Che, but a disturbing room non-the-less.
“Looks like a Bob Marley poster to me.”
Yeah, maybe. Definately not Che.
