This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I didn't know foreign governments could buy ads in America for political purposes.

It's the USA. Everything is for sale. From the wellbeing of your ordinary everyday citizen to the government that supposedly represents.

Yeah that's what made it Mildly Interesting for me. I've seen a few tourism ads here and there but never something like this.

It makes me wonder if China or Russia's bought ad space

Ad space? It looks like they bought the president

I guess bot farms and paid trolls in social media are already doing the trick?
