Probably coincidence of dates, the sinister tone and predisposition to cry foul is to blam

The elections are in November; that was the very first thing I thought. And quite frankly, most Americans don't even know who Guy Fawkes is. I doubt they would try to blatantly pull a shenanigan like that. Sorry, but my bullshit detector is off the scale on this one.
I think it's clear why the association was made, but in retrospect it's difficult to say it was deliberate on the part of the people producing the ad.

I don't see any reference to Guy Fawkes. Like, none at all.

The title does rather remind one of those "Remember, remember the fifth of November" lines...

Agree. Seems to me the November is all about the election date, what with the tick and all.

Is expecting anyone who'd watch the ad to know the elections are in November expecting too much?

That's a pretty big stretch.

Hmm... a four hundred year old event from another country, yes that had to be the reference

And the 5th is never actually mentioned. Just "Remember November". *NM*

Yeah, looking back I'm forced to admit you're almost certainly right.

Thanks, but weirdly my research on it now makes me think nov 5 would be a good day

Oilers, Broncos and Cowboys fan; I loathe both the Browns and the 'Niners.

Um...is everyone forgetting Anonymous and the Ron Paulite attachment to V for Vendetta?

True, but to (belatedly) be fair, I don't think that's REALLY the RGAs intent here.

Europe is doing some things better than us, and has for some time.
