23. BP advertises every Sunday morning...

May 2013

During the political talk shows. The other day (last weekend, I believe) I saw a Boeing commercial on TV. They don't sell directly to the public. WTF?

There was a lot of GE advertising after the Japanese tsunami, and I expect that a lot of people still don't know that the nuclear plant was a 'turn-key' plant constructed by GE.

Anytime I see advertising for companies that do not sell directly to the public, I wonder what story they are keeping out of the news. Why is BP telling us every weekend how they should be patted on the back for cleaning up 'their' mess.
