So I'm sitting here, listening to KNUS, when on comes an ad for CITGO gasoline.
"We bring you a steady stream of Venezuelan oil..."
It's not often you hear an advertiser openly and honestly give you the best reason for avoiding their product like the plague, hoping they'll shrivel and die.
And on KNUS, Salem Radio, which isn't exactly a target market filled with warm fuzzies for Herr Hugp.

Well I've been sort of surprised at the shamelessness of some of this, but it does appear that Mr. Chavez is anxious to enhance his image.

I caught that too - just about drove off the road laughing. I thought, "what moron approved this ad?"

This is exactly what I think every time I hear that ad. What are these people thinking? Can they really believe advertising that they are giving money to Hugo Chavez is going to make me more likely to buy from them? I wonder how many other people have the same reaction.
