GE: Coal Never Looked So Sexy
Forget "clean coal." Energy giant General Electric thinks coal is downright sexy.
This "coal-is-so-clean-its-sexy ad" was pulled by General Electric a while back, but it goes to show just how far some will go to sell clean coal.
Strange choice of music for the ad - "Sixteen Tons" by Merle Travis is a song about the misery of coal mining.















I've got a much better
I've got a much better impression of coal after watching that ad. :)
Interesting sponsors/properties
I noticed the NBC peacock among other logos at the end of the GE ad. Tim Russert avoids AGW on his show -- coincidence? A very quick google returns some results indicating that GE is thought by AGW-deniers to make a lot of money from emissions reductions, and that NBC is a vehicle promoting emissions reductions. Looks like opposed opinions on GE/NBC is old news....
Didn't I see something...
...like this in "Zoolander"? Oh, right. That was a parody.
What about THE CHILDREN?!!!!

Tsk-tsk. What is the world coming to?
Someone should make a TV ad
Someone should make a TV ad that sells nukes.
