Loving Campaign Commercials

As long term readers may remember, I love campaign commercials. They are more awesome than a combination of Whole Foods* and the Fear Segment of the local news**.

This is my new favorite bad campaign commercial of the 2012 Election Season.

I am going to make a television ad about me engaging in public debate with my elected leaders by sitting in a park and getting involved in a drum circle. Is that mean?

* Yes, Albany is getting a Whole Foods. Yay. I want a QFC or HEB now. Just to be contrary. Honestly, I do not really care about grocery stores all that much and about brand loyalty to grocery stores even less.

** Did you see this on WTEN the other day? About the epidemic of child pornography in the area? Except that they provided one example and they did not explain how it was an epidemic. This is not to say that I am fan or supporter of child pornography, however, I think that in the search for ratings, these talking heads are becoming less journalists and more hacks that are trying to scare the grandparents of the world. The Fox 23 segment of Facebook likes was awesome too in terms of "Fear".

Let me include this "Oh! And..." about television news sites? Do you have to make them such gaudy nightmares of EVERY PIECE OF CONTENT THAT YOU CAN THINK OF? The sites are as awful as the ties of most of the local talking heads. I know that timea are tough and you are trying to make money, but pop up ads in addition to the home page of doom is just as awesome as having the Meebo bar pop up. It does not make for a good user experience and makes aggregation all the more valuable.
