1. The media moguls allow this to run because they are paid to allow it. You have to be a whole lot more controversial than that to get everyone to refuse your money. But I'll bet there are stations in Detroit that won't run it.
2. Of course the "terrorist" connection, on its face, is dumb. Except that it is a knock off of the "drugs and terrorism" ads, which makes it brilliant.
3. I suppose Detroit and the oil companies are to blame for the SUV's . So also are the people who drive them. Plenty of blame to go around.
