Campaign Season. Campaign Ads.
Okay. Political ads are us.
Notable Ad #1: Dan Fanielli running against Alan Grayson. Supporting Racial Profiling. Memo to Mr. Fanielli at :44, “If a good looking ripped guy without much hair” — you flatter yourself.
Well, the ad did its job. Partially. It got the man national attention. Donors.Â
It’s worth noting, and everybody else is noting it with me — this guy looks like a terrorist. And this guy looks like a terrorist. Yes, so does this guy.
1:04 : Thinking of the premise of the ad, it is here that the Arabic man who is playing the part of the Terrorist is really starting to bug me. It is not even the political implication of supporting your “Racial Profiling”, as reports go, all I can say is — Fine, Whatever. But I can’t quite understand why he would want to make sure, after his “minor inconvenience” of interrorgation in airport security, be sure that a guy like him doesn’t get near a “thing like this” — the Airplane — isn’t the premise that all Arab looking men will be pulled out, investigated, then Let onto the plane after they are fully checked — butt cracks included?Â
Notable Ad #2. You have to understand that the Carly Fiorni campaign gave the Democratic Party a gift by running this ad against her porimary opponent, Tom Campbell.  Short hand, this is what Carly Fiorni accused Tom Campbell of being:
Well, it grabbed some attention. I don’t know how many people watching the ad out in cyberspace picked any names out, instead of — say, rolling to staid Internet memes.
Naturally the Democratic Party of California would be guilty of political malfunction if they didn’t pick up and run with it.
And so it goes.
Noted Ad #3. I suspect the Republican Party of Ohio overdid this one. They had a photograph which they couldn’t resist using. They dropped the standard campaign bits against it. I can’t figure out what the point of the suggestion is, and maybe I’m wrong — maybe the suggestive aura of Nero Masturbating while Rome Burns has some traction to it.
