There's a Halliburton ad on the scoreboard at the Pats/Texans game.

I was just watching some bonus coverage on CBS, the New England/Houston game. It's in overtime, and the Pats missed a field goal. But when they panned around the stands to show all the fans, the fascia videoboard above the lower deck at Reliant Stadium showed a fucking HALLIBURTON AD!!!

That's just eerie.

1. They can afford it - we paid for it

All hail the New World Order.

2. And at an appropriate game...Patriots=Texans (as long as they are

Shrub supporters that is)

4. Oh, yeah!! "Patriots (equals) Texans"!!!!

That's just SOOOO ironic.

3. They probably have an oil well on the property somewhere!

Free ads for the Texans in the White House!

5. "America"........

"Thanks for all the money.....Sorry about your kids"
-Halliburton Corp.

6. Halliburton has been trying to improve its image

Doing so at a football game makes them sound mainstream. I saw Clearchannel touting itself on a television monitor in the Copenhagen trainstation last summer.

In a memo dated October 17, company President Dave Lesar lambasted what he called "unfounded" criticism against the company and asked its 100,000 employees to get out Halliburton's message "in a thoughtful, non-confrontational manner.

"We should avoid stooping to our critics' level of dialogue, no matter how tempting that may be," wrote Lesar, who is also chairman and chief executive officer.

The memo, obtained by the Web site misleader.org, which opposes the Bush administration, carried the subject line "Defending our Company."
