The Best Vaccine and Flu Commercials: Why haven’t they been shown in the states?!!

These were darkly comedic and informative.

The sister is in a blue strapless gown and while facing the camera is talking about how her sister was the smart one, got good grades, joined the USMC and now that she is getting married, has all of her paperwork for passports, visas (presuming a honeymoon trip - not well written as it is never said) etc for she and her fiance.
"The current United States government shutdown means that the Armed Forces Network has also been shut down. Our troops overseas were not able to watch the week’s WWE TV shows, including Battleground, which is shown for free. There was also no NFL football shown yesterday."
