It's not just the Money Store. There is, also, a Georgia-Pacific ad
which has a voiceover of a leader(?) talking about preservation and
history with Scouts tramping through the woods, interspersed with scenes
of Civil War soldiers.
We're focusing in on the ad sponsors. Perhaps we should also go one
layer deeper - is the Ad agency the same? Have they sold the ad concept
to these companies (and/or others)? Maybe it's the Ad agency that needs
to be stopped, and to get better legal counsel.

Perhaps they wouldn't if they greasepaint were washed off befor
cooking/consumption. ;-)
