Say it isn't so but it looks like a conservative video site, Hotair.com, may be outsourcing and offshoring its videos opposing the immigration bill being debated in the Senate.
If you look carefully at this TV commercial-style spot, the telephone has a sticker which appears to show a European Union-wide number for emergency assistance, 112.
I think I can even see the circle of stars on a blue background that is a symbol of the EU.
I know we don't make things like phones in this country anymore, but we do still have phones here to take pictures of, right?
I've emailed Hotair to seek an explanation. In the meantime, somebody page Lou Dobbs.
Update: Bryan Preston of Hotair.com provides this answer to my question about why the phone seems to be in or from Europe: "The phone in the Hot Air ad is just a phone. It's not meant to be any particular species--just an office phone."
I see.
