Anyone notice commercial ads are piggybacking off Obama's popularity?

[Drunken Irishman]

Domino's Pizza's ad about the stimulus.

Southwest Airline's Yes, We Can (fly somewhere for cheap costs!!!!!) ad...

I don't ever remember this in American politics.

Crazy, funny and disgusting at the same time.

1. and Pepsi

:eyes:

[racaulk]

3. Oh seriously!

It looks like their whole new logo is based off of the Obama logo, doesn't it?

[Sultana]

5. Yes

[Liberal_in_LA]

15. might as well put Obama's face on the can.

2. ...and a credit union in our area

with a new ad (after the inauguration) on some billboards around town: "A more perfect union"

[Metric System]

4. There's a stupid and kind of gross clam chowder commercial out there too. You hear slurping noises

with the White House in the background while the names of Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Obama flash on the screen indicating that they're eating this chowder over the years. It's so stupid. A child could come up with something more creative.

13. it's a counter/mercial for my son- He HATES it-

and contrasted the Pepsi commercial with Dylan & Will.I.Am as being much more effective.

:crazy:

6. There's some cheesy, independent car salesman where I live

who actually mentions the President in his ad.

Something to the effect of, "We've got a new President. Change has come." Basically, trying to sell people cars based on the hope that things are going to get better financially.

The guy is a total cheeseball but I found it very, very interesting.

11. that fat greasy guy that calls him "obamer"

7. They know what works.

The MSM wants you to believe the spending plan is a dog. The people/businesses on the street know otherwise.

A day of reckoning is coming.

8. The coal industry is doing it...

There's an ad that I've seen on the cable news networks that is nothing but a video clip of Obama talking about clean coal and then of course they identify who they are at the end of the ad. But it was not him endorsing them but rather him talking on the campaign trail to voters about it. I'm sure whoever put that ad together had to ask him for his permission to try to sell their agenda based entirely on a video of him talking about it.

9. I've seen that one. A little too fascist-y for my taste

:scared:

[mentalsolstice]

10. I've noticed more African Americans in commercials

And portrayed positively. Hopefully this attitude will carry over into other areas of the media (and other minority groups will also benefit from anti-stereotypism).

[MadBadger]

12. I noticed two African American Girls in a commercial, one looks to be about 10, the other 7 or 8

if you know what i mean.

[Clio the Leo]

14. Yep, a local furniture store did a commercial about "change" NT

[ecstatic]

16. Everyone's trying to cash in. I probably should have too

Could have made some Obama calendars on VistaPrint.
