No more so than I get tired of all commercials.:mad:

Can you provide any more detail so I can try to look up the commercials online? I haven't seen them.

Mexican government? Private company in Mexico? American company that is setting up operations in Mexico?

I tried to find it on Youtube/Google, but found nothing. It is like a Chamber of Commerce commercial, with no entity, other than the Country of Mexico, named. Next time I see it I will have to grab a clip from the TV.

We should pass a law controlling who can buy advertising time in order to protect capitalism.


(KIDDING!)

They didn't bother me. Mexico's success/advancing is a good thing. It may also have a positive impact on our immigration issues if their own economy is growing.

I joined because they're still airing these commercials. Saying "mexico is the future of technology" and "how does mexico do it?" Wtf? Do what? All they do is complain how we dont help them enough. Reality check, the richest man in the world lives there. Who's really sick and twisted? Almost a year later the immigration situation has only become worse. This is bullshit

Do you not know how commercials work? (HINT: They're not editorials from the airing channel's management.)

...unless LBJ is in office, in which case they had darn well better be and they'd better be all for LBJ or your FCC license gets pulled.

Sad part is I'm only 1/4 joking.

It'd be hard to come up with an LBJ story I'd find incredible. That man was maybe the nastiest practitioner of smashmouth machine politics to ever infest the Oval Office. By comparison, Nixon was merely petty and Obama's just the frontman for his junta.

LBJ and his KITTENING "guns and butter" gave us inflation, welfare etc......
