The use of humour makes them fun to watch, and yet the serious point is oh-so-clear. Best of all, the humour avoids the big trap of most negative ads, that they sound mean-spirited and petty. You're not going to feel sympathy for poor Davis after viewing these!

I agree! I liked the "Maids" commercial a lot, and the others were really good, too. Great job, Simon team!
Now my download is even slower (5kb/sec), so I assume the ads must be popular.

I wish the "text" versions were html or plain text instead of in rich text format, since my browser now has to open MS Word to read the .rtf files.

One amusing note about the ads: The office set appears to have the exact same furniture as the set in earlier commercials where Simon speaks to the public.

I hope this doesn't generate a feeling in the public's mind that Simon is Gray Davis!
