Census Bureau wastes $2.5 million on super bowl ads
So the US takes a census every ten years and we all know it. Why spend money on an ad in the most expensive time slot in the world? Unless you are driving up the deficit to destroy Americas economy?

Because lots of slaves will be watching. Got to keep us in line.

Re: Census Bureau wastes $2.5 million on super bowl ads
think this thru:

Q
lets say 50,000,000ppl watch that Ad.
How much $$ is that per person?

A
About $0.05/Person.
Pretty sure that's cheaper than sending something in the mail to everyone.... especially given that the demographics of the people that actually watch the superbowl may or may not be the people that would usually just throw something like that in the trash because they are too busy with their beer.

It's a cheap way to give the illegal aliens a heads up so they can go into hiding when the census dude comes a knocking.

Anyone else planning to lie on the census? I'm going to lie about the number of people in my household, and on every other question asked. I refuse to add more info their database of slaves.

If you a politician and you want the media to be your buddy you give them money when ever you can....that is just the way the program works..

Even if your people are cold and hungry.. you give money to CBS.. NBC...CNN... after all its pennies..right..

Well they would not have to educate the public if the public in general didn't act like we were in the 1500s and the census was coming and looking for witches.
