Cannabis in TWC superbowl commercial?
« on: February 06, 2012, 07:33:53 AM »
Was it my imagination, or was the plant lady holding a pot of pot during the time warner cable commercial during the superbowl?

I replayed it a few times but couldn't get a good look at the leaves.  But it sure looked suspicious.

^ I don't think the FCC is going to get too bent out of shape if it was a pot plant.  They show pot plants on the news all the time when the cops raid a grow operation.  Not to mention that they show people using all manner of drugs on various shows.

Eh?  You go back in this game prior to 1995?  I don't currently have a subscription and my last in-game duel for "gentleman's rights" to exclusive use of my ident was around 10 yrs ago, so I don't think you have much to worry about.  Maybe if I start flying the game again we can settle it in the air  :devil

I think grayeagle was the one player who would have had a legit prior claim and grounds for a duel when I grabbed the "eagl" ident way back in CK beta and WB, but he never pressed the issue...

As for the pot in the commercial, it sure makes TWC come across as a company that endorses smoking pot to kids, since the commercial aired early in the game when kids would reasonably be expected to still be watching.  Hey look how cool our cable TV service is, we even have POT and it's COOL and totally OK!

how about the car commercials early in the game? They made driving that Hyundai look awesome, let's not let the kiddies see it or they might want to drive.
