Has anyone else noticed commercials on television for China and other foreign countries (sm)


Posted: Sep 22, 2010

for both travel and business purposes????  There are two that I have seen for China, one about visting China, seeing the people, etc., and the other about how the businesses are ran there, the pros for having a business there and then the other country (which I have never heard of) is Macedonia.  They are advertising strictly for business reasons, stating why Macedonia is the perfect place to have your business for tax reasons, etc.

Am I just coming out of a fog?  Have there always been commercials such as these and I have just missed them or ignored them?  I sat with my mouth hanging when I watched the China commercial.

I haven't, but now that you mentioned it I'll bet that's all I see - LOL

ability to forensically analyze the news; we have become passive consumers and got what we deserved -- propaganda, largely megaphoning the increasingly leftward tilt of the Democratic Party and various “nonprofit” organizations who promote scare stories about food, health, and the weather and challenge wars only when a Republican is in office. To be sure, there are some fine people (operating largely online) who take the time to read the accounts with a critical eye. Among the best are Jame ...

Senate votes to turn down volume on TV commercials WASHINGTON – Legislation to turn down the volume on those loud TV commercials that send couch potatoes diving for their remote controls looks like it'll soon become law. The Senate unanimously passed a bill late Wednesday to require television stations and cable companies to keep commercials at the same volume as the programs they interrupt. The House has passed similar legislation. Before it can become law, minor differences ...

This is meant very seriously...

Made In ChinaJun 11, 2012
Went in to the store to browse and saw the cutest 4th of July apron. It was royal blue and had "Made in the U.S.A" in a cute print on the front. I thought how cute would that look on the cook who is barbequeing on the 4th?!Yep,you guessed it. The tag said, "Made in China."I was so ticked! MOST of the inventory in US stores is foreign made. Even the Christmas stuff. I am very aware and try as much as possible to "BUY AMERICAN". Since that was going to be an impulse buy, of course I did not p ...

Statistics Canada said Friday the country added a higher-than-expected 93,000 jobs in June and said the unemployment rate dropped to 7.9 percent. Economists had expected a more modest 15,000 to 20,000 job increase and that the rate would remain at 8.1 percent. It's the second biggest gain ever recorded by the agency in ...

I just knew Romney had outsourced the 2002 Olympic uniforms, but I was surprised to learn it was to Burma/Mayanmar. Oh well, I was pretty close. ***** Mitt Romney was noticeably unwilling Friday to engage in a controversy around the manufacturing of U.S. Olympic uniforms in China, despite criticism from Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike. Congress was up in arms Thursday over the discovery that the U.S. team's uniforms for the opening ceremony of this year's Olympics ...

The same career politicians responsible for the recent revival of "communism" fears are the exact same names who pushed for us to outsource overseas from 2004-2008, mostly to communist China, though we were already in tremendous debt to them. And this doesn't this seem odd to you? To me, that goes stri ...
