A nice moment on "The Apprentice" just now (SPOILERS!!)
Basically, the two teams were tasked to create an ad campaign for the NYPD. Mosaic did a more personal, emotionally-heightened (if somewhat cheesy) campaign (When was the last time YOU saved a life?), while Apex basically turned New York City into a police state through imagery and music.

Result, Apex was KILLED. They were completely shot down for "scare tactics."

Cut to commercial, and guess what comes on? The "Wolves" ad.

There are some things money can't buy . . . :D

1. That guy who came up with the militaristic idea
has also already admitted he's a Republican. Big surprise! :D

3. Yeah....
First, I'm slightly embarrassed that I watch the show. However, "Raj", the Republican asshole, was playing tennis one week making cracks about slippery, slimy Democrats (or something like that) and "Slick Willie." Then with this show, he's all-military and Trump and the expert ad guy all said it sucked crap and made NY look like a police state.

Repukes have overplayed all the rah-rah war shit and don't realize that reality has set in and that war really, really sucks and that you better have an air-tight case (dare I say, passing the global test) before you commit Americans to kill and be killed.
