What an unsubstantial TV ad. The resistance from the anti-SOPA side comes with factual arguments. However they've chosen to go with their usual favorites: meaningless symbolic imagery and biased, baseless statements. They're trying to push their way through this with brute force. Idiots.


They're not idiots. They're very good at making emotional appeals that will reach people who are not like us.


Right, we are not the target audience. Actually we probably aren't part of the target audience for most TV/radio ads and billboards.


I'm surprised they didn't include "think of the children", although "criminals stealing american jobs" is pretty close.


You are thinking of Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act (H.R. 1981), which could easily be extended to include internet piracy.


PIPA = Protect Internet Pornographers Act. I mean, big professional studios that never make any art, just dumb porn.
