Just saw an ICE advert on MS.NOW. NOT part of Velshi's segment..

...it was a standalone ad during his program.

They finally eliminated the non-stop ED ads and began airing ads for youth art programs, youth and minority tech programs, veterans support programs, and more. But then I saw the ICE ad (the nonstop ED ads were at least partially targeted at prospective ICE recruits).

Are they SO desperate for $$$$$$$$$ that they can't say "NO" to an ICE ad?

Guess so. Greedy corprats gonna be greedy corprats.

The first woman POTUS (should be a Democrat) should demand that Congress pass a law that any ED ad aired in the US must be followed by an advert for OTC birth control pills or morning-after pills by mail. Why not? Male privilege, that's why. If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander. Many in Congress will scream, men (and ignorant women) will scream about how "immoral" it is, but nonstop ED adverts are OK. Male supremacy illustrated. And it needs to be smashed.
