Huh.

So, I'm watching an interview with Phil Moyers and Jon Stewart (which is -very good-, and you should watch it). I also have another window up on HFBoards, and it's showing several ads.

One of them was "Come visit...MARYLAND.", followed by a montage of trees, woods, Union Troops performing bayonet charge, trees, woods, ocean, bayonet charge, trees, bayonets.

So was the message I was supposed to take from the ad "Come visit Maryland and get stabbed" ?

While pretty bad-ass, the tourism board might want to re-think that one.

I think they mean you get to do the stabbing. I mean, the National Guard place abuts my apartment complex.

Wait...what?

Maryland's state song is a secessionist anthem. Technically, every time that song is sung, they're supporting the Confederate cause, and they ran an ad featuring Union troops?

Revisionist history FTW!

Apparently hypocritical stabbing is part of the Maryland charm. :D
