Ethical Oil TV Ad - Saudi Arabia (The ad Saudi Arabia doesn't want you to see)

Fact. Last year we bought over four hundred million barrels of oil from Saudi Arabia. We bankrolled a state that doesn't allow women to drive. Doesn't allow them to leave their homes - or work - without their male guardians' permission. And a state where a woman's testimony only counts for a half of a man's. Why are we paying their bills... And funding their oppression? Today there's a better way. Ethical oil. From Canada's oil sands. Ethical Oil. A choice we have to make.

UPDATE: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, an oil rich dictatorship, has moved to censor this Canadian television ad that educates Canadian consumers about the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia and the role played by Saudi oil exports in enabling this oppression.

@MrWaehler dont forget the "Ethical Nuclear Power Plants" they need to get enough energy to get their "Ethical Oil" out of the sand... and in the end then there will be "Ethical Nuclear Waste".

People how like this also like "Ethical Weapons", "Ethical Waste Dump", "Ethical Torture" and "Ethical Corruption"

I agree with BobDodoSawage, but also don't forget about the possible environmental impact this could have. Remember the BP oil spill? We need to get away from oil altogether and come up with an alternative form of energy. This is not ethical at all. It's propaganda and I'm against it.

Do really think we believe this crap about ethical oil??? People is not that stupid

[01805]

that's an oxymoron, there is no such a thing as ethical oil.

[svjenifer]

How many barrels did Canada buy? Who gives 'North Americans' any right over another nations, the USA is fucked! And Canadians who believe this garbage are willing to shit in their own backyard to fund imperialist wars and supressive regimes. Freedom is NOT FREE, in north america it comes at he cost of many many other nations and the lives of their people, "ethical oil" is a greenwash for all kinds of fucked up!

@MrGrubbykowalski Oprah charges way too much. I'm putting my ad on KTKB-LD. It's the CW affiliate in Guam.
