Duracell and the Troops


http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/duracell.html

NO MATTER HOW CYNICAL I GET I JUST CAN'T KEEP UP!

"I was just at the market on my way back from getting a haircut, and spotted these tags hanging at the checkstand. I was, needless to say, offended by these. Not only is this a shameless come on for one specific brand of battery, but the placard to which these tags were affixed specifies that the batteries are for night vision systems, and other electronics used in the war. "

"Bush is spending $5 billion a month in Iraq. Money that our grandchildren will be be paying off at interest. Can't they buy a few batteries? "

"The War of Terror. Batteries not included".


This gave me a great idea.

Imagine what the folks at Johnson & Johnson could do for troop morale!
