Have you seen the new BP Oil ads on tv? It's a cartoonish one with four babies driving a car. So what they are trying to promote is gasoline use not only by those of legal driving age, but they want to see infants behind the wheel, using up that ole precious gas. You know darn good and well babies will see this commercial, and while their parents are sleeping late on a Saturday morning, sneak out and pick up their little toddler friends and just have a hayday on the road. Thanks EVER so much BP for not only creating more of a shortage of oil, but potentially endangering the lives of people on the road even more.

ok...I'm saving up to see if I can buy a sense of humor for those who use Yahoo! Answers and can't recognize satire when they see it.

I don't watch propaganda err.. I mean TV commercials, or really TV at all.
But sounds about typical and a fine interpretation.
Yes.. all sheeple must use more gas, especially babies. You must continue to use an obsolete and inefficient propulsion technology, because EV technology just isn't mature enough (we insist, really) or cheap enough (because we buy up as many patents as we can to keep the prices high) for electric vehicles to be manufactured or used. But really we'd lose so much more money because electric motors are so darn reliable and cars would hardly use anywhere near as much oil products, etc. etc. Besides, babies can't drive electric vehicles. Electricity is too dangerous for them, among some other things or something.

It is difficult to figure out the thinking behind a lot of the ads on TV but you have certainly done a good job on figuring out the motive behind this one ~~
