for one, if it was "high level psy-ops", it probably wouldnt be able to be dissected by some random dude after seeing it for 3 minutes.

Perhaps "Psy-war ops" was an exaggeration. But this random dude has been dissecting television advertising for over 35 years.

yeah, ok. Maybe it is a bit of a reach.  I inhaled too much lead and mercury particles.

But you have to admit, using those "Authority-figures" to spew benign phrases intertwined with provocative ideology was pretty clever, eh?
Sure, but (to me) it's no more clever than any other ad.

I can agree with that part.  Maybe not high level, but it's there. Again, that's just advertising in general...just psychological warfare to get people to buy what they're selling.



The point I was making is that inferring something that just isn't there becomes very counterproductive. And I don't see how anyone would group themselves with emotionally unstable and morally corrupt individuals like Holmes, Lanza, or Loughner by proudly declaring themselves a "coward" for owning guns. I know some meant it to be tongue-in-cheek responses to a perceived slight, but I take the issue seriously and strongly feel gun owners should try to remain appropriate/mature with their words and actions.  Personally, I'd have chosen words that distance the myself (and legal gun owners) from the nutty bunch.

sigh :(
I fear I may have crossed over into the tin-foil hat crowd...paranoia induced by the blitz of anti-gun stories on tv nowdays.

OK, time to get back to more useful endeavors.
