obama using brian eno's music for airports for his political ads... what a hipster

^I don't care who you are: That's funny right there.


I just love the political ads these days. They don't say anything specific.

"Same 'ol politics."
Whaddya mean?

"Same failed policies"
Which policies?

Obama gonna, "Tackle big oil"
Huh? Whatcha goin' do?

Ease our "dependence on foreign oil"
How, exactly?

C'mon. At least pretend to understand that some of us want a little substance.

Oh choggie, if only everyone could respect women as much as you. Ol' kronosposeidonie couldn't agree more with the sentiments you lovingly expressed about the fairer sex. That's why ol' kronosposeidonie was a little surpised when ol' choggie said "Fuck you bitch" when a woman in a political ad made the innocuous query, "When did hope become a bad thing?" Kronosposeidonie dinna expect that from a woman-lover such as yourself. I might expect that from a buncha wankers, teeny-boppers, video-game playin', sittin' in yer mom's basement in yer underwear livin', thinks the world owes you a favor thinkin', wannbees, but not ol' choggie.

Too bad vinegar has been written off as a cure.

This is marked as long, even though it's only about 7:30. Might get more views if you unmark it. Nice vid btw.

Political ads are biased? Who knew?

I just don't get this as a videosift video. This is pure political ad and promotion. I understand it's grass roots, but it isn't about an issue. It's just an appeal for money. I don't see anyone videotaping pledge drives on pbs to submit here.

LOL! Haven't heard that one in quite a few years.

WONDERFUL!!

best political ad I've ever seen, and one of the best overall.

Yes, we live in a very shallow world...

It would be nice to see some intelligent, reasoned critiques of the political ad. However I often get the feeling that the Internet is overrun by angry 12 year olds. But now I sound like another upset juvenile, sigh :-)

As for the ad: I agree with the basic position. Edwards will get my vote if enough support builds around his candidacy.

It probably is worth 6 grand if you had the right ad revenue over a year (maybe this is 5 years?). I'm thinking this site probably isn't 1/10th of fark traffic but maybe. Certainly attracts high salary intellectuals. Maybe this site is a gold mine for politcal ads. (hint: I'm serious about sifting political ads over the next year. You'd get a lot of traffic)

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Pretty tame compared to political ads these-a-days.

I don't know how this will one will do considering the strong bias around here. I'm hoping people find the hipocrisy funny as I did. I hate seeing political ads and don't upvote them unless they are too funny.

Background:
Michael J. Fox did an ad for Ben Cardin in Maryland similar to the one we all know for McCaskill in Missouri.

This is a response ad where they shame them for using a "victim" of a horrible disease by using a "victim" of another horrible disease!

And to set the record straight, Michael Steele says he supports embryonic stem cell research if it doesn't destroy the embryo. Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/29/AR2006102900240.html

Very touching.

Nothing pulls on my heart strings more than forcing little girls to do political ads.
