[[MegaCorp Money, Incorporated]] is catching a lot of flak for bad environmental practices, price-fixing, mistreatment of employees, and all kinds of CorruptCorporateExecutive-ness. So what do they do? Make a Public Relations Ad showing how much good they do, and just how much they really care about the Earth/Little Guy/Mom and Apple Pie/what have you. We really do, honest!
