Star Command…

The new TV ads that the Zoomies are running about their new "Star Command", um excuse me, sorry, "Space Command" are disturbing on MANY levels, not the least of which is that it is so incredibly wrong. There's a great rundown of the commercial over at Wired's Danger Room, where you can also see the ad (there's no way in hell I'm putting it on my site).

John Pike, director of GlobalSecurity.org, nails it, "I am at a loss to understand the statutory authority under which the US Air Force can spend my money in propagandizing to me that they are doing a great job of spending my money. This advertising initiative is without precedent, and if it is not illegal it should be."
