If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
A new Republican-financed negative ad is accusing Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry of fleeing to Vietnam to avoid serving in the Alabama National Guard.
The ad, airing in most of the so-called battleground states, attempts to contrast Sen. Kerry's alleged guard-dodging with the storied Alabama National Guard heroism of the Republican nominee, President George W. Bush.
In the ad, a narrator asks, "When the Alabama National Guard called young Americans to serve, where was John Kerry? Thousands of miles away, in Vietnam."
The commercial ends with a black-and-white freeze-frame of Mr. Kerry, over which the narrator asks, "John Kerry. reporting for duty?"

I had to reread it twice then I noticed the satire bit.
