You have to wonder how these ever get made. Someone thought it up, someone agreed it was good, several people agreed to be filmed in the ad, then someone had to pay for it all.



Kind of remarkable, really!

In a world of all the same thing, I like something that strikes out to its own beat.

Well done Johnnie-boy.

This one has something kind of appealing about it. It is so subtle I can't quite figure it out.

Perhaps I need to watch a greater variety of TV, because I can't recall seeing many political ads in my life. Are there just not very many political ads on ESPN?

I thought those were awful. And these politicians think they're going to encourage folks to vote for them?

Here's an ugly one in the Gregoire vs. Rossi Washington gubenatorial campaign, that Gregoire had to pull after the Italian community complained:

Democrats can be such hypocrits.
