re: #4 darthstar

Greg Sargent over at the Plum Line has a pretty good argument that the ad was never seriously intended to get on TV…just raise enough controversy to get free air-time on the networks as a “news story”…they didn’t even approach NBC with a dollar amount of what they were willing to spend. (i.e. they were hoping to get rejected)

Interestingly, Sargent says, “according to the Web site Little Green Footballs,” and then links to a Pages page (by Dark_Falcon). I can see that becoming a problem at some point.
