Reason captured this billboard in Marion, Illinois, which is, heh heh, “innocently” in the same neighborhood as Bill Ayers (by several hundred miles). Right, like THAT’S A COINCIDENCE. Those terrorist are just so scared of John McCain, who knows that they exist somewhere, in one of the world’s eighty or ninety Mexicos, wherever, it doesn’t matter, they will be bombed at all times. The terrorist would literally prefer anyone else. Norm Podhoretz, Bill Kristol, any Kagan, name your favorite neocon, it doesn’t matter. Just not John “Bombs” McSlavepants. [Reason]

Yeah… so who’s running the Thursday night copy desk for digital advertising over at McCain central? This is two Friday mornings in a row, CAN YOU PEOPLE PROOFREAD? McCain should fire this slouch and replace him with Andrew Cuomo. [Mollygood]

Here is that ad we talked about in the Daily Briefing! The best part is it rhymes at the end. Also, this is one of them ads released so that MEDIA ELITES will talk them up, so give yourself a pat on the back, you are now part of the media elite that Normal Americans despise even more than the regular elite.

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]

Here’s the latest piece of propaganda from the creators of General Betray Us and other bits of self-righteous liberal wankery. Shortly after this dumb ad was filmed, John McCain bombed Alex and his mother from space and guzzled their brains, for Sustenance. [YouTube]

The United States Marine Corps is a proud institution, and they would like you to know that. They would, um, also like you to consider joining, not that they have a recruiting problem at all. Nope, the whole war thing isn’t affecting their recruiting at all, which is why they’ve bought ad time during tonight’s American Idol episode and next week’s AFC championship on Fox. By the way, that AI ad time was estimated last season to cost about $750,000 for a 30-second spot. Wait, shoot, I lost my train of thought. Am I amused and cynical that the Marines are buying hugely expensive ad time on shows popular with today’s youth to try to drum up more recruits, or pissed that they’re buying more than a million dollars worth of it from Rupert Murdoch’s Fox? It’s so hard to decide sometimes. [PR Newswire, NY Times]

Most DC residents think of the International Spy Museum as either that place where my nieces and nephews go while I’m taking a break from their visit, or the expensive one. The museum, perhaps chastened by its you know — for kids! reputation, has launched a sexy, not-at-all-exploitive new ad campaign (shown above, shot yesterday at the Farragut North Metro station) to let everybody know that they’ve got hos, babes, and naughty secrets as well! And that hot thing in the ad? She’s totally a spy! I bet! Bitch set me up!

In yet another outrage of someone saying something — but in print this time! — the Washington Times is in a heap of trouble for running some ad from a crackpot. MORE »
