Open Season Everywhere!

I realize this isn't the best-quality image of all time, but I think it gets the point across. Metro Center, the key subway juncture in Washington, D.C., is covered with Blue Cross Blue Shield ads for their federal health plan for Open Season. GEHA is advertising their dental plan on subway cars. This stuff is everywhere
. Advertising on the Washington metro is always pretty entertaining, whether it's Northrop Grumman trying to sell helicopters, anti-PETA groups trying to convince commuters of the organization's awfulness, or lobbyists fighting over the reason for air travel delays. But this is pretty epic. Know your powers as consumers, feds. This advertising budget is a pretty clear sign.
