Marketing The War!

[DUSTY]

I DON'T THINK THAT YOU REMEMBER THAT WHEN DESERT STORM WAS OVER THE MARKETING OF THAT WAR SKYROCKETED. WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON THIS ONE?

bro, people are just trying to make an honest buck. heck, if the nation wants to buy american flags and candles, someone has to sell them right? why not me. Or you. Or whoever else wants to help the people out. There is nothing wrong with it IMO.

I WAS THINKING MORE ON THE LINES OF TRADING CARDS,T-SHIRTS,AND BOOKS.

You know what would be sick?

Pay per view battles. They could easily predict when some of the fighting would ensue. With the embedded reporters, it's not that crazy of an idea.

.........naturally, other tasteless spinoffs would follow. ala "War's greatest hitz volume 5".

If there's a buck to be made, someone will grab it. Right or Wrong.

Actually that sounds like a great idea. Real TV on the battle field. At first they show you a soldier, you get to like him/her, and then they show the battle field, and this soldier is shot/blown to pieces. Although I guess it wouldn't be very nice to their families and friends.

I hate this new "embedded" reporters idea. Yeah sure the right to have news, blah, blah... You are fighting for your fucking life and maybe about to get shot and a reporter sticks a mic in your face with cameras around as it is a goddamn show.
