This is how to sell a product. In this case, the product is Eliot Spitzer, gubernatorial candidate for New York. Notice how the ads do not attack the opposition - an anomaly in today's craptastic political offerings. They seem...almost professional.
Oh wait, they are. From dailykos:
The ads are written by screenwriter, Madison Avenue maven, and political novice Jimmy Siegel and produced by Moxie Pictures. Siegel worked until recently at the legendary firm BBDO. He put together the Super Bowl Visa ad with Bob Dole and the "Yo, Yao" ads with Yao Ming.

We Have A Winner
It is only Tuesday, and we already have a winner in the sporadic, Biggest Moron of the Week Award. And he is from London. Go figure.
From the London Free Press - Letters:
"Am I right in observing that the Taliban have increased their attacks against Canadian soldiers ever since Jack Layton and the NDP began their repeated demands to bring home our military?
Have Layton's actions made the Taliban stiffen their spines and try to drive the Canadians out of Afghanistan? Could it be that with the NDP more or less stuck in the national polls, Layton has decided to try to garner a few more supporters by issuing his demands at this time? Just wondering. If the last is true, shame on Layton.
Sure, we have heard the ceremonial skirl of the pipes far too many times recently, but one would think that if anyone should be urging that the troops be brought back, it would be the families of those who have lost their lives. That is not the case.
C. Paul Wenn
London"
Why would the paper even print crap like this? Are they so determined to show all points of view that the mildly retarded get their letters printed? Have they forgotten the meaning of the word "editor". You just don't print any old bullshit, you call for facts; and when the facts aren't presented, or the opinion clearly comes from someone's ass, you kick it to the curb.
