AFN commercials
My friend and frequent commenter Evan once mentioned American Forces Network and its low-budget PSA commercials. He even links to the greatest AFN commercial of all time.
But it's not all useless. A commercial convinced me to start my Christmas shopping finally, after seeing weeks of "Look at this pretty Christmas tree - WITH NO GIFTS UNDER IT BECAUSE YOU FORGOT TO MEET THE SHIPPING DEADLINE."
Also, while I understand the limitations of satellite television require it, I continually amused that soldiers in the Middle East watch so many commercials about how we shouldn't drive and drive on the Autobahn, and we should take advantage of being in Europe, and if we want to marry a German national we have to register the appropriate paperwork before she can come back to the U.S., etc.
