Who wouldn't want a DeVos visor or a copy of Dick's book "Rediscovering American Values - The Foundations of our Freedom for the 21st Century."? No true American that I know of, that's for sure.

A good read, too long to paste. Article is from June.

Anyone seen the "I am Amway" ads?



Scary...

[Mr. Oobir]

What a coincidence. DeVos slips below Granholm in voter surveys, in part due to being an Amway guy, and now we get these dandy Amway ads all over TV. No connection, I'm sure.

[Glenn]

^it has to be a coincidence because there isn't a disclaimer on them at the end that informs the viewer who paid for the ads, right?

[Fool]

I can't really tell if that's sarcastic or not Glenn, if it is then ignore the statements below.

The commercials stay clear of adressing the political race, issues, and candidates directly (aside from saying "jobs jobs jobs Michigan jobs Michigan jobs jobs jobs Michigan") so I'd think it would be hard to regulate it as a political ad (even though anyone with a clue about the race knows why its been made and what its doing). After all, Amway has a right to promote itself even if this might be the first commercial its made "for itself" in years. Thus no responsibility stamping at the end.

P.S. I'm surprised it didn't have one of the people call out the name of a member of the Tigers.

[Glenn]

Yeah, it was sarcastic, too lazy for the green text.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos says he supports giving local school districts the option of teaching the theory of intelligent design in science classes as an alternative to evolution.

He couldn't have painted himself any more the fool if he put on a red nose and big floppy shoes.

This makes me want to fight him.
