Video: How Dangerous is This Moment? and Tar Sands Protest at White House

last year I used to see TV ads about "tar sands". Now they call it "oil sands". I assume its a marketing gimick because it sounds better but is actually the same thing?

thanks

It's the same approach as marketing bush & obama & their ilk as "politicians" & "statesmen" when in fact they are criminals.

Surely that must be a new PR scheme. If it is, keep track of how often it is used in the corporate media. I bet in a few years "oil sands" will replace "tar sands" in the corporate press, just how "climate change" was a PR replacement for global warming.

Maybe activists should start doing the same thing but in reverse. Replace the word "tar sands" with "mercury-laiden crap that moves SUV's" and call global warming, "mass planetary habitat destruction", "global desertification," and or "hurricane inducing global sea-warming."
