The Pentagon is planning a $300 million dollar pro-US PR campaign.
This is so pathetic, what's next celebrity endorsements?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm not actually planning on working the amount of overtime they've specified, by the way. I think I'm coming down with something, I have another doctor's appointment, my car needs an oil change, and I need to finish a story.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

CJR Daily pointed out that that's something like 2.5 times the annual budget for a whole newspaper's newsgathering. For, like, all the news, even the bad stuff and the boring stuff. Each piece of linotype must be cast in platinum.
(I know they don't actually use linotype any more.)
Maybe they need that kind of money to sponsor a Superbowl commercial.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Product placement in movies?
They've done that for years. Basically, if the script is high profile enough and makes them look right they'll hook you up but good with all sorts of fun planes and stuff.

Maybe they could do a commercial where people off the street choose a country in a blindfolded test between the USA (represented by a card with a cool looking eagle flying over a rippling US flag and a boldedly printed U.S.A.), Country X (represented by a card with a big X over a red maple leaf), and Country Y (represented by a card with a big Y between a big vertical blue stripe and a big vertical red stripe).

So... you lick Wayne Gretzky, and Julia Roberts, and Salma Hayek, and decide who tastes the best? (Could not think of a female Canadian sufficiently famous to make this a nationalist FCM.)

Celine Deion? Nah, there's got to be a better one than that.
