Author Topic: Worst Political Commercial EVAR! (Read 598 times)

Saw this last night...

The scene is a house party with black men and women dancing the night away while hip hop blares in the backround.

The camera makes its way through the crowd to focus on a young man talking to a young woman about how he just go this great new job as a promoter for a record company and how in months he might try to start his own business.

The girl turns to him and says "Not if you get drafted".

Confused, he replies "What?"

"Not if you get drafted. It could happen and this election could decide it." (Paraphrase)

I think this is a terrible commercial that simply plays on peoples unwarrented fears. No one claimed reponsibility for it, as it was one of those "Get out and vote" spots.

The Demicrats are desperate. They will stop at nothing, there are no rules.

I don't even know who put this one out.

I don't really care.

It's the scare tactics I resent.

The irony is that Kerry's "plan" to send more troops to Iraq (anyone remember Johnson and Vietnam?) may well necessitate a draft.

How else are you going to get the 40K new soldiers Kerry says he is going to send?

10% of our active duty military is in Iraq. This percent does not include reservists, although there are many in Iraq. If you do the math for all active duty/reserve, less than 4% of our troops are in Iraq. We could send another 40-50 thou without straining anything but marriages.

I think we have that commercial beat in the Sessions Vs Frost race. Frost has an ad with nothing but WTC shots (burning, crashing aircraft etc) saying how in effect his opponent is at fault

The funny part is the naive assumption that the recording industry is a lucritive career

It is for a small small number of lucky people. For the rest its just a pit stop to a life of working at Popeye's.

Just like the scene from "gangs of new York". As the Irish immigrants came off the boat, they were greet by men at a table, one says,
"This forms make you a US citizens, this one make you a private in the army, now go and fight for your new country," Don't know for sure if this happend during the civil war of not, but sounds like a good idea to me.

I'm surpized that no one has brought up the fact that it was Charles Rinegold (D) who introduced the draft bill into congress.
