intern day in the advertising department!

Because these remind me of working on the paper, and every time I want to say, "Did they let the interns do this?" Horribly funny, even if it makes one depressed about the state of national politics. Laugh anyways. You need Flash to view these properly.

The DNC ad that started it all.

The GOP riposte.

God save us all from these people.

I would assume that yes, Virginia, they do let the interns do this. But I feel a point by point is in order.
On the Democrat page, they were nice enough to embed the flashplayer so that I could bore myself with other crap on their page. There was actual speaking, not just lackluster wordballoons. There was no horrendous compression of the Superman theme, and I laughed brazenly as the cartoon grandma fell to her dusty cloud of death. I wanted to leaugh more at the GOP parry just because it was more absurd than redeeming. So, Dimmycrats win that ad battle if only because they have better programming.
But it would please me more if the entirity of both parties slid down a red slope to their deaths so that those other parties could design silly ads and attack each other more publicly...

Yes, the DNC's was better. If the Republican party interns had any real balls, they would have used pocket recorders and gotten George to say funny things to work into their flash.

And yes Jack, we'd all be a lot happier if these folk drifted down into the ocean along with California...

Hahahahaha.

The government commercials are worse than the ones with animals talking. Maybe the GOP should have the afflac duck as their spokesbeing.

I'm really hating every single election-related commercial that ends with "...is wrong for Texas."

How the hell do THEY know what's right?

And what, are we in Junior High now?

Yes. Yes. It must've been National Intern Day when they decided to spend money on those...there are some with horrible graphics, like the one (I cant even remember who it's for) with the candidate standing like he's hugging a t.v. and then everything he does wrong is written in the screen as the announncer says it...It's like an ad for taking telecommunications and what it will do for your life at your local community college...all that's missing is Sally Struthers.

Ok, I think I'll take that straight jacket now.

I know! I was just reading something in the UT livejournal about how ridiculous Student Government is here, and then this... eeeeee!

Political commercials: without the annoying 1-800 numbers of infomercials! New and Improved! :P
