Boy was I wrong. It's been one commercial after the other using the incineration of 3,000 people to promote corporate profits. Verizon used children and the Statue of Liberty. Budweiser's horses bowed toward the empty hole where the twin towers stood. Corporate logos follow tear jerking images in crass exploitation of human tragedy. Corporate fascist propaganda knows no bounds or consideration for the truth or humanity.

Maybe this is an opening for corporations to begin using fatal traffic accidents, deadly hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis to promote their products.

I can see it now:
Announcer, "235 people kill in an airline crash today. Sponsored by Budweiser. Be sure to catch the latest images while enjoying a cool drink and comfortable chair."
