John McCain "Proud" of Britney Spears/Paris Hilton Ad

Yesterday, I posted a couple of pieces on the ludicrous (heh) John McCain attack ad, featuring Paris Hilton and Britney Spears alongside Barack Obama. The ad is nonsense, and could even be seen as subliminally racist, without having to pull your tinfoil hat down very hard.

Surprisingly, when asked about it, John McCain says he's proud of it. Really?

McCain: 'We're Proud of That Commercial'

ABC News' David Wright reports: Who knew Paris and Britney would ever be a campaign issue???

The McCain campaign's decision to feature the women in a 30-second spot accusing rival Sen. Barack Obama of being a shallow celebrity has consumed the campaign debate today. . .

Please Don't Vote for a Republican (Billboard #3)

A couple of days ago, a wingnut with some advertising money took out a "Please Don't Vote for a Democrat" billboard, complete with September 11th imagery. It was incongruous given who was President at the time of the attack.

And it was also self serving, as it seems the guy is trying to sell a CD of "patriotic music." But I think this kind of billboard might be used to Democrats' advantage. And we don't have to misdirect or lie to do it, either. This is the third in a series of billboard ideas by yours truly, this time featuring one of the scariest moments on September 11th. The day The Decider decided to freeze like a deer in headlights.

Please Don't Vote for a Republican (Billboard #2)

A couple of days ago, a wingnut with some advertising money took out a "Please Don't Vote for a Democrat" billboard, complete with September 11th imagery. It was incongruous given who was President at the time of the attack. And it was also self serving, as it seems the guy is trying to sell a CD of "patriotic music."

But I think this kind of billboard might be used to Democrats' advantage. And we don't have to misdirect or lie to do it, either. This is the second in a series of billboard ideas by yours truly, this time featuring every kid's favorite Senator, Mark Foley!

Please Don't Vote for a Republican (Billboard #1)

A couple of days ago, a wingnut with some advertising money took out a "Please Don't Vote for a Democrat" billboard, complete with September 11th imagery. It was incongruous given who was President at the time of the attack. And it was also self serving, as it seems the guy is trying to sell a CD of "patriotic music."

But I think this kind of billboard might be used to Democrats' advantage. And we don't have to misdirect or lie to do it, either. As I mentioned in a previous post, I haven't much time to blog tonight, but I did have time to whip this up. It was a quickie, so not as good as it could be. But I have a feeling I'll think of a few more. Enjoy!
