I agree, ads like the Willie Horton one could backfire bigtime. Although Sharpton praising Hitler as a great man should make thinking people go hmmm. Its risky and maybe these guys are FINO's. Don't know who they are - yet -.
The one with Willie Horton is awful.
The narration is also bad--if the one with Sharpton had a deeper, more somber sounding voice that one might be a bit better.
In any event, these that are presented hopefully will never make it on the air.
