| Wow. No, I definitely hadn't seen this before Peter. Thanks for posting it. I've only gone through about half of them so far but it's pretty intense stuff... Hope something changes for the good for the upcoming election. |

What a lovely set of inflammatory, emotionally-charged political whinings without any factual evidence or viable alternative suggestions.
The "polygraph" one was my favourite - are we supposed to imagine that that's what would have happened if he'd been hooked up to a real polygraph? Ha. Even if he was outright lying (as opposed to just being mistaken), polygraph tests are very subtle and show variations while the person is talking, they don't suddenly go wild right after they finish their sentence.
This is the kind of politics I hate - ranting, raving, conspiracy-theorizing "Bush-bashing". How about some suggestions, instead of constant complaining?
Edit: to be perfectly clear, I'm not any huge fan of Bush, but it's too easy to complain - much harder to get up and take action. |

Thats exactly what we're supposed to imagine...I thought it was pretty obvious. As for the needle going wild, its for effect. If you want to get a message across then you need make it noticeable; subtle, miniscule movements won't get people's attention.
And they had 30 seconds to present this. Thats hardly enough time to pull out a sheet of facts and start reading. |

diginut you're being a dick :p stop lamenting over details.
These ads are aimed to the general public, you have to get their attention in 30 seconds. I think most of these ads are perfect! |

No, because I wasn't anti-war. I'm not sure if I'm seeing your point - I'm not attempting to be an "activist", but the people who made those ads are. Besides which, rallies are slacktivism, they're about as useful as online petitions.

To you and Peter - I'm not being a dick, but having only 30 seconds to present is not a valid excuse for handing out fanatical, misleading, paranoid conspiracy theories to the general public.
Of course, people are entitled to free speech and there's nothing wrong with the ads they made - I just wouldn't call them "deep" or "powerful" or "intense." They're meaningless to me. Someone could just as easily show me a video of an actor portraying Bush getting gang probed on an alien ship with a dubbed-over narrative saying that he's pregnant with a Martian baby, and it would be just as "powerful." |
