Aired on Fox during the The O’Reilly Factor
Now THAT'S what I call taking it to the next level!
Not to mention the irony...gotta love it!
I caught that. O'Reilly's show of all places. That had to be deliberate. I got a good chuckle out of it.
did that really happen? i think it would be fantastic but i can't believe fox would allow it.
I don't watch O'Reilly but apparently so. I tried to get the clip to run from that link but couldn't (old computer, maybe a plug-in issue), but I did watch the clip further down the page that was an interview on MSNBC with the producer of the commercial, David Sauvage. The 30 second commercial apparently ran on a couple different networks Saturday night.
thanks
I'm not sure I like the direction this movement is taking :(
here's the link to chip in. pretty cool!!

Looks like they finally put some of their donated money to good use... good for them!
For a grassroots movement that is woefully underfunded, that's a large chunk of change to spend on a primetime commercial. I'm thinking there might be some Wall Street sugar daddies behind this rabble!
Or perhaps there was/is some of the more secure middle class who funded it.
And perhaps it's more Soros money! Who really knows...
I do not, I merely offer an alternative assumption.
I think it's safe to say that OWS didn't raise that kind of cash for multiple ad spots on the highest rating news network by going door to door and over the net. But if you're willing to buy that...then there's this bridge just east of Zuccotti Park for sale!
Well, I could have said Martians did it.
Far more likely that the socialist elite in this country did it...just sayin'!
I am going to presume I will never know who financed these ads. But I am not going to assume a Wall Streeter did it although it is possible, and it is just as possible that thousands of people sent a dollar or five dollars and financed it.
But for fun, let's go with the Martians.
And I will pretend that it was money well spent. Wonderful!
If nothing else the irony was priceless.
Not as pricelessly ironic as a bunch of upper class college kids railing against corporations on their iPhones, connected by AT&T, platformed with Microsoft inspired operating systems, while drinking their Starbucks in a Coleman tent!
Anyone else thinking "too late?"
The news and images of riots, drugs, rape and death will not be erased by paying actors to say something scripted.
Airwaves,,, means loud farting.
Now this I like. you can get out of the parks now.
