Political Commercials
Is anyone else amazed just how negative and totally relentless US election advertising is? It's proof that alowing political commercials on television is a really bad idea. I keep expecting to see an advert that starts with something like "Did you know that George W Bush/John Kerry eats babies?" Some of these adverts are so bad they're funny, I've seen a couple during sitcom ad breaks that were funnier than the sitcom.
Both sides of guilty of this, although the Bush team seems to be running a much more negative campaign at the moment (that could change though). My own opinion is that both sides should spend more time saying what good they'd do, rather than the bad things the other side does. But if there's one thing I've learned in the 4 years I've lived here, it's that American advertisers like to frighten you into buying their product, so why should political adverts be any different?
