| US Census rolls $2.5M on Superbowl ad |
| 2010-02-08 |
| By Michelle Malkin The U.S. Census Bureau will squander $2.5 million on a half-minute Super Bowl ad starring D-list celebrity Ed Begley, Jr., plus two pre-game blurbs and 12-second "vignettes" featuring Super Bowl anchor James Brown. It's a drop in the Census boondoggle bucket (otherwise known as the tax-subsidized National Democrat Future Voter Outreach Drive). The Obama White House has allocated a total of $340 million on an "unprecedented" promotional blitz for the 2010 Census. That's on top of $1 billion in stimulus money siphoned off for increased Census "public outreach" and staffing. In all, the Census will triple its total budget from 2000 to $15 billion. Snippet. More at the link. Did anyone else here hit rewind on the DVR to watch it again and STILL ask, "WTF????" |

| #5 Of course. Do you really think there is a team that could challenge us? That's why we play games no one else can understand. You probably think the Bay Bombers don't deserve to be World Chanpions either. |

| #4 In professional baseball the finals are referred to as the 'World Series'. It's on the 'Little League' side that the finals are truly a world series. Don't even get started with all the commercial joints that refer to themselves as 'world famous'. |

| #3 Well Done New Orleans after all you have been through! Funny to hear their Players say they are 'World Champions' when only ONE country was involved. Is this the same with Baseball/Basketball in the US? |

| #2 Stealth stim program for the dimishing MSM, sock puppet of One Party? Can't wait to see their banner on the right side of the Burg. Heh. |

| #1 ...And as you might have expected, it was the only thoroughly unentertaining one in the bunch - not to mention the fact that it's been running in most major markets for a week or so already. Mike |
