This is something that has always bugged me. I thought once something hit the internet, it was fair game. No one owns the internet. (First use on the internet for me was via a university professor many years ago; unlike Gore who claimed he invented it - LOL) Universities got the ball rolling.

And I STILL believe that it's ALL fair game once posted. That's just me though.

IMHO, this ad is the lamest ad the swifties could have put out. Watch it from the point of view of someone who doesn't know anything about Unfit For Command or the swifties. It doesn't make it's point clearly from the start. I think it's an absolutely awful ad.

They should be doing ads hammering home the form 180 idea. If they were going to do this, they should have made it change minds instead of appealing only to people who know the story.

I'm a huge fan and donator to the swiftvets, but I HATE this ad. I hope they pull it because of ABCNEWS and get the hell on with making something worth showing.
