I hate the Buick/Million Thanks campaign.The woman that sponsors it has the same superior smirk that the soccer mom with "W" stickers have here.Why not thaank them by bringing them home,or helping their families who are struggling while they are deployed,or helping our vets gain access to healthcare?Buick is pimping our troops to sell cars.

1. Yeah, it's pretty fucking hollow, isn't it?
Sure is typical though. I guess they have to do something when their magnetic ribbons fade.

3. I tend to agree with you.
On one hand, our troops will probably enjoy reading greetings from all over the country. On the other, I think it is being promoted as a "thank you for protecting us" campaign.
