Politics
Big Sister is Watching
by Clay Staggs
The Hillary Clinton - Barack Obama race promises to be great fun, especially if you’re a Republican like me who’s basically not invested in the outcome. It’s gotten off to a great start, but in a decidedly 21st century way - on YouTube.
Someone, operating under a pseudonym, whose identity has yet to be revealed, has posted what I think is one of the most devastating political ads I’ve ever seen. Check it out:
Now, for the under 30 crowd, this is a take-off on an ad that Apple ran during the 1984 superbowl to introduce the Macintosh and this newfangled thingie called the mouse. To see the actual Apple ad, go here.
Everybody loves a mystery. Obama’s campaign swears that they had nothing to do with this ad. Some have speculated that a Republican actually did the ad. If the Obama camp is lying, they should stop immediately and run this on TV - frequently. If not, they - more than anyone else - need to find out who did it and put that person on the payroll.
Mystery political ads on YouTube - I love the internet.
