December 7, 1941

Today marks the 66th anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor. I wonder what it was like to be an American during those times.

Just recently, Freedoms Watch created some television advertisements that NBC is refusing to run. I'll post one of the commercials below and maybe you can tell me why they wouldn't want to show them, because they seem very appropriate.

Here is some more information on the story. Below is what I believe their real response sounded like.

Dear Soldiers,

Happy holidays and a big eff you from us.

Best wishes,

The morons at NBC.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.

Apparently NBC's 'policy' has been not to run ads that were of a conterversial nature,the link to the website violates their policy on controversial issue advertising because it encourages political action and other activities.

Which is interesting, because NBC has aired commericals for Moveon.org. Who says the media isn't biased?

One additional comment. I heard on KSL this morning that NBC would not let the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints purchase air time either. We're talking about the commercials that say, "Family, isn't it about time?"

When the buyer continued to pressure NBC as to a reason why they would not let the church purchase air time his response was that the commericals were not consistant with the programming content.

So the LDS commercials promoting family time are not consistent with the viewing content on NBC? Looks like I need to re-think 'must see tv'
