A Swift Boat a Day...

Wired magazine reports on, “a slick pro-Obama, anti-Clinton riff on Apple's 1984 Super Bowl commercial that's been the buzz of both the blogosphere and the media. By midweek, the Vote Different video had been viewed more than a million times, according to YouTube statistics.” Sarah Lai Stirland of Wired goes on to say, “The video's success has fired up a new round of debate about the impact of federal regulators' decision a year ago to exclude unpaid online political activity from the detailed disclosure requirements that apply to political advertising in traditional media.” This is an interesting development which means that political ads can now be even more dishonest and unethical--and entertaining. See the Wired article for links to some sample ads.
