Your condescending attitude could use a little work.
1) I get out of the country quite a bit. Kind of busy suing entities right now though on behalf of the 1968 Civil Rights Act m'kay?
2) You seem to be fairly limited as well in your sample size. Pot. Kettle.
Err, I was responding to your comment, "Im speaking about the Washington DC area. How could I know what other areas of the country have on their tv's?". I took this to mean that you didn't get around other areas of the US. If you are now telling me you
do get around, well, that's fine (though then I don't understand what you're previous comment was meant to tell me).
I was trying to indicate that the US adverts I've seen in the past 6 months didn't show much evidence of greening, but, as I said, "my recent experiences of the US are limited to Missouri and ... Chicago O'Hare". No pot or kettle here about sample sizes - and note that the only reason I mentioned visiting the US and seeing car adverts at all was because you said that you knew that I wasn't from the US and therefore seemed to infer that I wouldn't have seen recent American car ads. That was an erroneous assumption, but it really isn't a big deal.
So let's be clear. I'm completely open that my recent experiences of US car ads are limited. You appeared to indicate that yours were limited to just the DC area, and I expressed moderate surprise at that, but said it was of no real matter. Frankly, I think the greening of card ads is pretty inconsequential, and wasn't looking to make any particularly weighty point about it.
Honestly, mate, I don't see what's condescending about what I wrote, and think you've must have inferred some insult which I didn't mean to convey.
Happy to agree Arnold is doing something. I don't tend to see California as representative of the US though (or of anything other than California). So while Arnold's approach is welcome, I don't see it as being a trend-setter for the rest of the country. Do you ?
