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!

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.

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]

Dunkin’ Donuts Nixes Terrorist Rachael Ray Ad

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Oh my god she is wearing a scarf she is a teevee cook terror?Remember when those nuts on the right, Michelle Malkin and Charles Johnson, condemned beloved fast food bakery Dunkin’ Donuts for letting teevee chef Rachael Ray wear a Palestinian scarf in this ad? Dunkin’ Donuts first released a statement saying that no, it was not the Palestinian kaffiyeh design at all, just paisley, and a SCARF. Despite being categorically incorrect, the wingnuts have somehow “won” and Dunkin’ Donuts will pull the ad due to the “possibility of misperception.” Jesus. [Boston Globe]
