New Anti-Hillary Clinton YouTube Ad Makes Waves on Web

Monday , March 19, 2007

FC1 ADVERTISEMENT

WASHINGTON — Both campaigns for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama say they know nothing about a new and chilling campaign advertisement airing on YouTube that attempts to cast the Democratic frontrunner and New York senator as Big Brother.

The ad, an example of a "mashup," in which old and new elements are combined to create a new message, uses footage from the "1984" Super Bowl ad produced by Ridley Scott for Apple Computer but splices in footage from Clinton on the presidential campaign trail.

Click here to see the Clinton-Obama advertisement.

Borrowing the themes in George Orwell's book in which Big Brother forces conformity among the masses, the updated ad shows Clinton's face on a large video screen as she talks about holding conversations with the public. Human drones mindlessly watch until a female athlete carrying a sledgehammer races into the room and smashes the screen.

The end of the ad takes some of the language from the original commercial but changes part of it to say, "On January 14th, the Democratic primary will begin. And you will see why 2008 won't be like '1984.'" The screen then fades to an updated Apple logo showing a rainbow colored O and the Web address BarackObama.com at the bottom.

The text to the right of the video says, "Make up your own mind. Decide for yourself who should be our next president." The ad's poster, named ParkRidge47, is anonymous except that he or she is listed as age 59.

Comment from you tube:

"Good ad. Someone should make one just like it about Obama too, because he sucks just as much. Those two are both slick, empty, Republican-lite, and in Israel's pocket. Give us some candidates!"


LOL

A viral ad--put out by someone independent of an advertiser
(or perhaps hired by an advertiser under the table to do
such an ad)...one such online commercial was done "for" VW
and showed a terrorist getting into his car, intending to use it as a car bomb. But only the inside of the car blows up--
no outside damage is done, implying that the car is rugged
and durable.

http://www.snopes.com/photos/advertisements/vwpolo.asp

"After a short jaunt, the driver pulls up in front of a busy restaurant with curbside seating...pulls out a detonator and depresses the button. Rather than causing widespread
death and destruction, however, the muffled blast is
completely contained by the car, leading to the slogan
'Polo. Small but tough.'"

There needs to be a video made with comments out of the mouths of Pelosi, Boxer, Reid, Murtha, Kerry, and the rest of the anti-American, anti-military Liberals. The MSM protects and defends these cowards and traitors. Their words tell us what they are. Exposure is what Liberals fear the most.

I saw one of Obamas sycophants on Fox this morning saying the Republicans did it and said Obama would never do any dirty tricks.

Say that to Jack Ryan's campaign when he hid behind a reporter to dig up dirt on the divorce.

Kind of a bummer, since it's a pro-Obama ad. He flies (albeit more covertly) the same Big Brother flag.
