TERRORISTS HAVE NUKES IN THEIR TUMMIES

RNC: “Any News Ideas? No? Fine, Throw Together A Standard ‘Daisy’ Thing”

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Just in time for Video Friday comes the RNC’s latest Guantanamo Bay video, outlining the very serious position that all but six members of the United States Senate have taken with regard to prisoner detention. [Balloon Juice]


IMPORTANT POLITICAL SATIRE

New RNC Ad: Barack Obama’s Dog Purchased With Taxpayer Money

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

The RNC made a good decision here to hedge its incomprehensibility with a disclaimer in the first frame: “Political Satire.” So remember when you’re watching this ad: it’s just “Political Satire.” You cannot apply for an ObamaCard because there is no such thing. “Political Satire.” Speaking of credit cards, remember when all-but-one of these very Republicans voted to preserve the ObamaCard companies’ usurious practices today?

UHH ...

Hey This Is NOT APPROPRIATE Matt Drudge

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Contextual ads sure can be a bitch sometimes. So can regular, contracted ads that the website owner approves! But this is not to make light of the very terrible thing that did happen in Binghamton. [AP]


SECRET TEEVEE PERSONALITIES

Hey Maybe This Guy Can Save The Economy Too!

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

No real reason for this, but someone sent us a screen shot of this ad for some fellow called the Ass Man and we thought it was comical. Is there anyone in the world who would trust this man’s advice, or take a single word of his seriously? Pronouns, prepositions, it doesn’t matter, they are all lies. We have never seen this channel, the Fox Business one, but can only *imagine* what a Fox version of CNBC would be like. If anyone else sees ads of financial teevee anchors making hilarious claims about populism, please pass them along!

INSECURE BUMS

Joe The Plumber Wants To Find Out Who Likes Him

Monday, December 1st, 2008

We went to Joe the Plumber’s DTV homeland security education site to see if Ad #2 had surface yet, and no luck. But here’s a comical form, of sorts, where we are asked whether we “like” this man that the company is paying to endorse their products. In other words, they’re trying to figure out if people are signing up for e-mail updates to learn about their fake plastic space gizmo, or if people just want to be alerted for their next mocking blog post.

JUNK BONDS

Targeted McCain Ad Targeted Somewhat Poorly

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Hmm… our secret money robot models are indicating high counterparty risk in this potential transaction? Oh what the hell, we’ll throw a cool $2 trillion at this McCain victory fund and get one of them there credit dee-fault swaps from, uh, McDonald’s. [FiveThirtyEight]


JOHN MCCAIN

Well, That’s One Definition of ‘Wins Debate’

Friday, September 26th, 2008

For the win!Here, on this Wall Street Journal web page featuring this op-ed by Henry Paulson’s wife “John Paulson,” a curious advertisement appeared. It was this one, captured by Wonkette Operative “Evan W.,” so now you know! McCain Wins Debate! He wins by … uh, refusing to even say if he’ll show up! Maverick! And look how he suspended the campaign and all! Jesus christ …. [WSJ]

TOMFOOLERY

Former McCain Strategist Does Not Like New McCain Strategy

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Cease the tomfoolery!John Weaver left John McCain’s campaign a year ago and ever since he has been mournfully briefing the press on how crappily his old friend is running things. Yesterday, in the wake of the dumb commercial calling Barack Obama a Eurofag pop star, Weaver talked with the Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder and unloaded a little bit more. MORE »


DIGNITY

Obama Assaults Elderly Woman In New Commercial

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Barack Obama has a new ad called “Dignity,” and it is all about what a candidate loses in the process of running for President. Ha ha, just kidding! But the part in the end where he strangles the old lady is pretty undignified. [YouTube]
