LOL! For those who don't watch Comedy Central's The Daily Show you'll want to see this.

Interesting.<div>The story is about the purchase of new US Abrams tanks, the supporting "commercial" is about selling used British Chieftains &amp; Abbots - the only way that makes any sense is by hanging on the public's perceived ignorance.</div><div>

I do believe you are missing the point of the exercise, sir. It doesn't matter what make & model tank Al Madrigal is riding around in in the "supporting "commercial"", its meant to get across the point that we already have a few too many sitting around in inventory that will never be used.

Besides, don't you think it might have been a tad difficult to call up the US Army & get their Ok to borrow a few new Abrams for for a satirical commercial?

Hi Hermill<div>No, I didn't miss the point about having too many tanks, just thought their tank recognition skills need work.</div><div>
</div><div>Don't know if you've noticed but there have been a couple of TV shows (the zombie one I can't recall the name of, with the Brit actor as the Sheriff) the last few years  that feature chieftains done up as M1's, so they're  available.</div><div>Yep, getting the genuine one's might be an issue.</div><div>

The Daily Show is the best way to see how screwed up life can be back home.

If I want comedy, I switch to Fox News.
