I saw a little false advertising tonite while slumped on my bed, lazily watching the news, since nothing else was on.

Channel 2 showed a report about Federal Express introducing a new line of diesel/electric trucks to complement their delivery force in Sacramento. The new trucks would increase fuel efficiency by 50% while reducing pollution by 90%. Along for the announcement was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who got to look at the engine and took a test drive of one of the trucks.

2 went to commercial so I switched to 3, which is Channel 11. They were teasing the next segment.

The graphic on screen wrote "NEW JOB?" while the video showed the same clip of Arnold behind the wheel of the hybrid truck.

In a loud voice: "Is Arnold looking for a new job??? Find out why Governor Schwarzenegger is starting to drive FedEx trucks, next on the 6:00 news."
