Are you serious Bilbo? Do they not have political commercials in the UK?

What are you talking about?

I'm *insert name* and I approve this message is said at the end of each and every political commercial there is. It's an election year that's where that comes from. BG didn't copy him.

Ah fair enough, our politicians arn't quite that lame over here in the uk so the don't say that, although they are copying the American idea of having politicians wives speak on behalf of their husbands so maybe we'll get the pleasure of these annoying message approvals soon as well.

Apologies to Boxing Gorilla.

By the way Amat, are we really at war now? I thought you waged war on me months ago?

I did, and the clan is gone. Reignited is the right word, this is essentially the War of 1812. I'll win, again.

That started during the '04 election. After the swiftboaters pretty much dissected John Kerry over what he did and didn't do in the war. Bush didn't denounce the ads, but instead started saying that message at the end of each ad. I didn't think it would survive to another election, but it seems like it's a hear-to-stay thing.
