Russia's Putin Signs GMO Law

Okay, he's really making us look bad here. He's acting almost American while I almost feel like I need to address people as Comrade these days back home.

Because Monsanto is allowed to sue farmers for not using their GMO products, unlike other countries. Also Monsanto now occupies many positions in the government. There is some serious collusion going on between and government. These images just represents a few, but they are major positions.  

emotionallyincorrect,

Awww..now you're looking at that all wrong. (grin) We WANT Monsanto to run their public relations campaigns and their outreach efforts to improve their image. Really... This is a GOOD THING!

After all, people who know more than the name by itself already have an opinion about Monsanto. It's a love or hate kind of company, isn't it? (Hate...more than not, I think). They won't change the minds of those who know them ...and those who don't, won't suddenly start caring either way because of a commercial on TV. So..it kinda accomplishes little to nothing.

What it DOES do is waste their marketing money and their outreach budgets in ways to simply waste it. God forbid they have a bonafide brain fart to squeak out a DECENT idea for those resources. I'm much happier to see them spending it into the black hole of 'TV advertising'...for little or nothing in return.
