"The boys in Tehran might not like it"....
"but we like it pretty well in Tuscon". Has anyone else seen this commercial about wind energy (I didn't catch the whole thing)? That phrase caught me off guard. I'm all for wind and alternative energy but wouldn't it have been more appropriate to say "the boys in Riyadh"?

1. Tehran makes more sense than Riyadh

since a larger percentage of Iran's energy portfolio is in natural gas, which Pickens is trying to to replace with wind.

Still since most of our natural gas comes from North America would it not have been more topical and less racist to say "they are not going to like that in Wasilla"?

3. Isn't that from an ad from the late seventies?
