The war on… something

Here’s a question for ya, why don’t the latest batch of anti-drug ads fit my television screen? If you haven’t seen them, let me explain. The anti-drug commercials, like all the rest of them, suck. But more specifically, these seem to have been filmed in a widescreen format. But for some reason, when they are adjusted for regular broadcast, the cut of the left and right edges instead of putting the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. The result is grainy video due to the extra zoom and a bunch of text that you can’t read.

I don’t so much have a problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars in Iraq, but do we really have to spend billions of dollars making shitty commercials?
