What does any commercial on TV cost? How many have been bought in this campaign? 30 seconds! $1000 buys what, 0.2 of a second?! 0.5? And who sees that shit? Who gets swayed?

Now you're giving this moral speech about $1000 for a piece of theater that gets press and ends up being a social media thing, and you post it here on pre-social media ca. 2002? A fantastic return on the investment.

Your problem apparently is that relatively middle-class people spend $1000 collectively to get a lot of media, but you have no problem with rich motherfuckers and campaigns spending $225,000 to get 30 seconds on TV?!
