What's your Damage Heather?

A new wrinkle in our strategery in Iraq:

June 20, 2006 - Remember the egg, the frying pan and the message? "This is your brain," the ominous narrator told us before cracking an egg over the sizzling skillet. "This is your brain on drugs." Public service announcements have changed a lot since that foreboding culinary lesson. They now include exploding cars, flying Matrix-style stuntmen and exceedingly dire messages like "Don't Suicide Bomb." A new, American-made PSA aimed at discouraging these deadly attacks is currently in production. The ad is slated to air as a 60-second spot on Iraqi television this summer

What was the inspiration for this idea? Umm..I think I know, it came from this movie:

Lead singer: Teenage Suiciiiiiiide
Backup singers: Don't do it!
Lead singer: Teenage Suiciiiiiiide
Backup singers: She blew it!
Lead singer: Teenage Suiciiiiiiide
Backup singers: Don't do it!
[Teeange suicide lyrics courtesy of these fine people]

Fsck me with chainsaw! This is our counterstrategy? Don't they need electricty before we can expect they are going to be able to flip on their TV's and watch this ad?

George Bush..our little eskimo...
