Death of Outrage? Pledge of Allegiance Used to Promote PS2 War game

Advertisements [?]

Has anyone seen the advert for PlayStation's new "SOCOM" video game? The voice over used as background is a bunch of KIDS reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, including the "under god" phrase!

Where's the outrage from the RW - or, the LW, for that matter - that our sacred Pledge is being used in such a crassly commercialized way? Is there no outrage because it's a first person war game that had our glorious armed forces blowing away some (enter your favorite derogatory term for our *enemies* here ______)?

What if the Pledge was being used in TV ads to promote legalizing MJ, or to sell Viagra or Enzyte? Would they have a problem with that?
