It turns out that the law also includes a provision requiring that federal candidates appear full-faced for the last four seconds of their campaigns' television advertisements and personally attest that they stand behind the advertisements' content.

And as amusing as this promises to be ("YES, I stand behind this load of insane bullcrap 100%"), I don't think it's fair. Commercials are either ten seconds or twenty seconds. In that context, four seconds is, like, *forever*.

I was under the impression that standard T.V. commercials were 30 seconds, with long ones at 60 seconds.
