  1. #1    NBC, owned by GE, cannot afford to show the ad, it would cut into their profits from the illegal invasion of Iraq.

  2. #2    It would not only cut into GE's profiteering from the illegal invasion of Iraq; it would go against GE's monstrous contributions to the current president and his cronies.

  3. #3    So now no one is allowed to run a commercial that criticizes Bush?! That's completely ridiculous. We need to take our country back, but I don't know how we're going to do it.
