One Great Promotional Ad For A New Show...(It Involves Guns)....

Thought this was great...And what better place to kick it off than a quiet little town square in Belgium...

TNT, a cable television channel whose slogan is “We Know Drama,” added a little — actually a lot — of drama to an unassuming town square in Belgium as part of an advertisement. It’s an understatement to say spectators were surprised.

It all started with this: a big red button in the middle of the square with the instruction “push to add drama.”

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

The eye witness accounts would be a riot to read

My guess is that everyone in and around the scene was an actor.

No way they would send that many vehicles into a public square with the possibility of bystanders wandering into traffic.

While they might not expect any armed spectators in Belgium, I didn't see anyone diving for cover when the lead started flying...

The final banner was in English...it doesn't seem to be aimed at a Belgium audience.

Still a great commercial

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
