Political videos: ordinary, not-as-advertized, wow, and finally, well done

Ordinary:
Nice, old-fashioned 'get your attention' method, but it's still around because it works.




Not-as-advertised
"Shock" ad? Who is MoveOn.org kidding? This isn't shocking. Give the mom the same script and then ending with the 12-month old little Alex in baby-sized desert fatigues, lying dead in Faluja ... that would have been shocking. Or end it with an adult man in desert fatigues lying dead in some hell-hole in Iraq, with the mom saying "and I didn't want you to have little Alex's daddy either." Less shocking, more relevant.



Wow
You want a shock ad? Try this one. Right after the Hispanic/Latino/Mexican group, Somalis are the next biggest social/ethnic group in the Twin Cities. (nothing astonishing in the script, just the fact it was made)



Well done
okay, so we already know I'd rather vote for the Zipper/Chewy ticket than McCain/X . But this was better done than most I've seen, even if the computer editing isn't. The title caught my eye initially: "McCain: How he stopped worrying and learned to hate YouTube"
