New York is being bombarded with adds by Mobile telling us how great tar sands and fracking

[pwb]

will be for us all. Soft spoken men speaking in a relaxed convincing tone telling us Tar sands are the next best thing since sliced bread. I keep wondering to myself, if tar sands are so great to produce oil why isn't Canada, where the tar sands come from refining it themselves.? Canada is a large energy producer and should jump on this opportunity themselves you would think?.
Same thing with fracking, some Exxon executive softly telling us how safe and clean fracking is.
No surprise this tar sand pipeline is going to Texas, it is one of the few states that allows such pollution of their people .
Not one mention of all this pollution and environmental destruction saving us even one penny on the price of fuel. I guess they think Blue America will buy their bullshit. I doubt very much New York will allow fracking on our state soil, but nice try Exxon-Mobile. Save your gentle persuasion for the red states, we don't buy your lies.

1. If this is the guy you mean, I want to slap that smirk into next fu**ing week

Smooth talking greedy bought and paid for shill, whether he's a real Exxon exec or a sell-out actor starving for a job. These bastards are going out for the support of the gullible dumbed-down teabaggers and hope that will be enough to get their way.

2. When I started seeing them I immediately thought of this scene from the movie 1984.

3. Is this your first, "You are about to be fucked over" commercial.

In Alaska, everytime the oil corps are going or did something that is against your best interest they flood the TV/radio with these ads.

Pure propaganda and perception management.
