Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

Wow… I just watched Mitt Romney on YouTube. Apart from the fact that he looks like his mother scrubbed his face ‘til it glows, and his wife washed, ironed and starched his shirt so much you could probably make it stand up on its own… What is this man saying? Sounds to me like the same old platitudes everyone else has said, and will continue to say, to avoid actually making a commitment on anything. But Mitt baby, what is going on behind your head? OK, I get the obligatory pictures of kids and wives (Ooops, sorry that doesn’t happen any more,) but what is that thing with all the disembodied arms and hands having some kind of wrestling match? And what the heck are you doing with that giant willow pattern turkey serving platter? Is Thanksgiving early this year? Oh and a final piece of advice. You are the first Politian of any party I have ever seen that didn’t have at least one giant Stars & Stripes flag prominently displayed behind him/her. Actually, I kind of admire you for that. It makes a refreshing change from all the other scumbags who espouse patriotism while lining the pockets of their corporate contributors.
