Drugs and terrorism and insulting ads

Boston Globe ^ | 1/13/2003 | Cathy Young

IT WAS ONLY a matter of time: A new television ad campaign suggests that if you drive a sport -utility vehicle, you are helping terrorism by putting money in the pockets of oil-producing, terrorism-sponsoring countries like Saudi Arabia and Iraq. One of the commercials cuts from a man at a gas station to a map of the Middle East to video footage of a terrorist training camp, while a little girl's voice says, ''These are the terrorists who get money from those countries every time George fills up his SUV.''

DARN you're quick in the draw...I do believe you're pulling ahead of me!

Nice fundraiser incentive, BTW!

we all hope saddham is being maneuvered off the stage with millions of dollars in his pocket and at least two or three safe havens for him to rotate among the rest of his life. And that regime change is reasonable. I just let insults like Arrianna's roll off, so I didn't see why people got upset at it though.

"Come to think of it, it's not that complicated."

Well, it's NOT!

''Fight terrorism - grow your own pot!''

Hmmmmmmmm....

[RJCogburn]

if you drive a sport -utility vehicle, you are helping terrorism by putting money in the pockets of oil-producing, terrorism-sponsoring countries

And if you donate to FR you are helping promote drug use because of articles such you post. You are one dangerous person and so are all the FR contributors. ;^)

''Fight terrorism - grow your own pot!''

I've advocated that for years. It fights smuggling and organized crime, too.

[Wolfie]

On the other hand, I'd rather be caught for possession ($100 fine) than manufacture (felony charge).

[Britton J Wingfield]

True, but it's an entirely seperate issue. One is a great argument against the other. Legal domestic production would mean zero profit for thugs around the globe.

[Britton J Wingfield]

George fills up his SUV.''

Funny that it is "George" filling up his SUV.

[weikel]

And America would have a comparitive advantage in producing hemp( good soil and all). Maybe we could get the trade deficit wackos to calm down.

"I'd rather be caught for possession ($100 fine) than manufacture (felony charge)."

C'mon, Wolfie, it's for a good cause. Plus, I'll bet you can acess FR from prison, so you won't miss much.

[robertpaulsen]

I wonder if we can donate to FR and designate that none of the money be used to support MrLeRoy's posts. Could triple the contributions.

[MrLeRoy]

You're a real card---and you need to be dealt with.

[philman_36]

A fitting return to a ludicrous action. The creators of that original ad get what they deserve...ridicule!
