Obama Ad On McCain Offshore Taxes

September 23rd, 2008 6 Comments

I don’t like this Bermuda ad. The tone is all wrong, the music overpowers everything and the message is muddled. Ditch it.

    I think “Girls Gone Wild” has effectively killed any ability to use steel drum music in any advertisement ever again.

    I disagree with you, which is rare.

    This ad is awesome, and I would love more like it. It’s Eight (houses) Is Enough meets Weekend with Bernie, except that Bernie is a sleazy lobbyist. It’s humorous and successfully paints McCain as a rich corrupt jetsetter politician merely by pointing out the simple truth of his dealings. I would especially keep that mellow beach resort steal drum jam.

    I like the ad. And I like the steel drums.

    That is funny, and so unreal -the two faces of John McCain…
    how good is that for Americans, hiding the wealth of the rich and famous. I think I will put it on my site too, people have to know the truth about John’s twin brother.

    My sister lived in Bermuda for 3 years. I never heard a steel drum while I when visiting. Who cares, I guess. Just saying.

    Yeah, in Jamaica you mostly hear steel drums in tourist areas where people expect to hear them. In the rest of the country I think you’re far more likely to hear reggae or soca.
