I have a Dream....

....That someone will make this commercial.

One of the features of American life is seeing on TV people dressed up like our national heroes and trying to sell us stuff. Every President's Day we see Lincoln and Washington hocking cars, or fixed rate mortgages or some such.  Every 4th of July men wearing tri-corner hats are offering us great deals on electronics.

Don't even get me started on Christmas. For that matter, why no Orthodox Rabbi's selling us cheap auto-insurance during Hanukkah? We have Christmas in July, why no no Hanukkah in August?

Do they do this in other countries?

Does Nobunaga sell deodorant in Japan? How 'bout Bismark offering 36 month financing on Volkswagens in Germany. Maybe Gandhi can offer Indian families package vacation deals to Bali?

Why not?

But my biggest beef is that this time of year there are no Martin Luther King commercials. Think of the potential.

'I have a dream....that every American can get a thirty year adjustable rate mortgage for no money down!'

I ask again, why not?
