Bansky Quote

“(Many of) the greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules, but by people following the rules. It’s people who follow orders that drop bombs and massacre villages.” -Banksy

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX.

Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/
