Maybe I’m just super cynical. I have yet to see an ad for anything that made me want the product. Remember those pseudo sexy commercials for Uncle Ben’s rice where the woman was getting all hot and bothered? I have yet to have a bowl of rice that made me wanna f*ck. Still haven’t purchased any Uncle Ben’s! 🙂
Eh, those ads just trot out the same old tired ass half-truths. If there arefolks who go off of those instead of actually doing some digging to find out about a candidate, those are the voters that scare me.
If the people who paid good money for these commercials didn’t believe that they have some effect, you can bet that they wouldn’t run them.
Advertising works. As Bill Clinton once wisely said to those who don’t believe in the power of advertising: “OK, fine, don’t advertise your product.” (Clinton said this to politicians who were pooh-poohing the effectiveness of cigarette advertising).
Wasn’t Ben-Gay that movie with all the chariots starring Charlton Heston?

I like the ads in the windows in Amsterdam’s Red Light District.

i think next election – anti ads should be placed in the urinals of public bathrooms, if you catch my drift.

It would be fun if ALL campaign ads HAD to be place in public bathrooms aka “the world’s oldest message boards.”
