Army ad before Fahrenheit 9/11 showing |
|
Yes, that's right. Somewhere between the M&Ms and the Coke ads, the theater I saw the movie in today had an ad for the US Army.
Anybody else get to see this delicious piece of irony?

4. Were you attending a Regal Theater? |
|
Regal Theaters, which owns UA and Edwards has this "20 minutes before the movie" commerical that plays highlights of new TV shows, COKE commericials, etc.
I wonder if they have an ARMY ad inside that marketing piece?

5. All the theatres here in Saint Louis... |
|
...seem to run that Army ad "Army of One" before the movies. Shouldn't be surprising that they've ramped up their recruitment efforts.

11. That is the STUPIDEST slogan ... |
|
"An Army of One". Doesn't that kinda defeat the point of group discipline, etc...
Or is it a deeper Zen meaning. That is, the whole is a some of it's parts. So YOU are the army and the Army is you.

Thank God.
Edited to add: only about three commercials, and only two trailers. That seems low for a movie. The whole commercial/trailer thing only took five minutes total.
