I remember watching a porn flick that, instead of credits or titles, faded in with an Old Glory and the (apparently now standard) "never forget". Not knowin' what to make of it at the moment (I still don't) and not having any stake on the validity / sincerity of such display decided to take it as a serious thing, but I couldn't help to think that at some point we'd get to see ads exploiting such patriotic trends. It makes me wonder what would Bill Hicks (or Lenny Bruce for that matter, certainly there are many whom I'd like to hear say something on the subject) have to say about that. But milk ad has to be a joke. I wouldn’t so much speak of already forgotten as much swetp under the rug (but I don’t seriously see how that can be possible), clearly not the same.

However, their "Never Forget, his Middle Name is Hussein" shirt has proven to be less effective.
