MTV : Airs Martial Law Commercial...

Although I do not think we are quite there yet despite some of the very concerning moves that the US government has been trying to push i.e. The Indefinite Detention Bill,The SOPA bill just to name a few.

The scenario played out in the commercial may become reality if we as a country decide not to stand up and speak out. -Blogging4Bullion
