Speaking of Saudi Arabia- I don't know how widespread they are, but,
even in my sporadic and brief moments in front of a TV, I've seen a new
ad at least twice from the Saudi's proclaiming themselves 'partners
against terrorism'. It's a slick little thirty or twenty second spot,
with a shiny urban modern background and some robed and hooded
pedestrians, from my memory, and I'm pretty sure it was a national spot
on one of the main three networks, but I can't say for sure which one
or whether or not it was on more than one. There are resources to
discover placement and time of advertisements, but, this was an
interesting piece of propaganda.
