Has anyone seen the commercial that says "it's never too early to talk to your kids about what to do in case of a terrorist attack"? It's sponsored by the Ad Council and Homeland Security and the whole commercial is a little girl eating breakfast and asking her mom what she should do if something bad happens.

Talk about scare tactics.

I think for pure quality scare tactics, the best ad ever has to be the one where the little girl is picking flowers and then, because Barry Goldwater is president, a nuclear bomb explodes.

Vote for me, Barry Goldwater! I'll start a nuclear war!

Right, because you'll be able to immediately tell that a terrorist attack is happening.

"Hey Paw, you hear that? Terrorist attack's a comin'. Get along kids, you know what to do. Into the storm cellar."

:lol :lol :lol

Are they also going to start running commercials detailing what to do if you're struck by lightning?

Well, to be fair, Goldwater's campaign also implied he'd start a nuclear war.

Ad Council is one of the greatest sources of both humor and endless shame in humanity.

All-time favorite Ad Council moment: During the Super Bowl, you know, that three hour beer commercial wrapped around a contest of some sort, a commercial comes up in which a couple is looking at a pregnency test. It comes up positive, then they look over at their young daughter on the bed. Who got knocked up because she was high.

In the middle of three solid hours of beer commercials.

"They're the youngest grandparents on the block" because of marijuana.

Between non-stop beer ads.

Yeah. You keep with the terrorist angle, Ad Council.
