I'm sorry, but the DNC red balloon is ....AWFUL..

[SoCalDem]

I hope they are not paying their graphics people to produce this CRAP.. We have several people here who do profesional work, and there are many other talented lefties who would do a great job.. Whose kid is this person ??? McAuliffe's??...

ANY of the moveon.org's submitted ads, or the people who submitted them whould be better..
Remember that lame-o "wheelchair" ad from 2002?? Are they aiming to look crude and amateurish?? or are they just hopelessly clueless???


I wrote them and gave them a link to americanstranger/symbolman/ blumrich/fiore...

Please write them and ask them to investigate a "new job" for their graphics person :)

1. I wasn't overly impressed either.

glad to know it's not just me.

Now - those moveon ads were awesome!

[proud patriot]

2. I agree

We need snapy ...

[strategery blunder]

3. It makes a good cartoon for 5-year olds

but a serious ad? Forget it.

[SoCalDem]

5. What's really sad, is that by just producing it

they are getting some free airplay...and then it's AWFUL..

It's embarrassing to have such drivel being put out there in our names.

4. and if they need a hatchet man for a front group produced attack ad...

lawd knows, I'm free!

6. Is it me or does the DNC seem like your "uncool uncle"

It's like they don't really get it, yet groups like MoveOn.org are kicking butt all over the place. I think the DNC needs a "new blood" transfusion.

[SoCalDem]

7. Yep, they're just now getting around to being "rad"

:(

I am a 54 yr old Mom, and there is NO way I even attempt to "be cool".. My kids said things that I almost needed a translator to understand, but to attempt to "be like them" and "talk like them" would have just made no sense..

Every age group has their lingo..

Advertising works when it's understandable by everyone..

8. That is terrible.

Its very true they just need to be more StreetWise and in your face.
Good points Just crappy Delivery!!!
Fiore Burys that one every damn time.

9. Aside from the fact that it was just plain stupid.

They obviously don't even have a professional sound man working for them.

[SoCalDem]

10. Supposedly.. that great new building they put up

has a state of the art studio in it.. Unfortunately, their taste in "art" seems to be crayon/coloring book :(

[ieoeja]

11. Must be because ...

... the entertainment industry is so solidly Republican. :)

[BootinUp]

12. Agreed

Not very appealing to the eye.

[Doctor Pedantic]

13. Amen.

I got the ad in my Outlook mailbox this morning and just cringed while watching it. There's no way I'm forwarding that embarrassing piece of crap. The "balloon" theme wasn't even used consistently or logically. Just awful.

[tkulesa]

14. It's terrible

It sucks, in the worst possible way.

Ick.

[patricia92243]

15. I think it supposed to be a kid's drawing - saying something about kids...

having to pay off the deficit.

[KissMyAsscroft]

16. Not a good ad...

The balloon exploding hurt the people? HUHUHUHUH!!! Funny!,,*sarcasm*

Ugh, there are many people here who can do far better work.

[Warpy]

17. THANK YOU

It was insulting, it was so awful. Somebody in the DLC must have a kid they think will be the next Picasso and Disney rolled into one, I can't imagine them hiring this out to anyone competent.

With all the beautifully done ads out there at Move On and Take Back the Media and even Bushflash's over the top efforts, you'd think they'd have managed to locate some truly competent people.

This is Freeper level stuff, and they should be thoroughly ashamed.
