Review of Dow Chemical Company

The ad on my blog was about the Dow Chemical company. If you watch it, it's quite moving and emotional, and you don't realize that it's even for a chemical company. The commercial uses the element of covering up what the commercial is even for. Many commercials do this where the ad pretty much has nothing to do with the product (like that HP commercial with the sumo-wrestlers forming a plane and flying away). This is very similar to what Exxon does in their commercials. But then, you get down to the facts. Dow made, if not still, chemical weapons and agents, such as napalm, agent orange, and, over all do not care about the "human" element. Dow Chemical recently purchased a Nuclear Plant in Bhopan, India, where unfortunately a meltdown occurred, killing thousands of people. The people there would like a clean up, which is understandable. Who wouldn't want a nuclear disaster cleaned up? Letters have been written, Dow ignored, more letters, petitions; Dow still ignores and in fact is suing the people of Bhopan who are writing these letters for bothering the company. Oh yeah, they really care about the human element.

Also, here is an older Dow commercial from the mid-80s, when the company was still very heavy in building chemical weapons and, for whatever reason, decided to leave that part out in the commercial.
