You're On Candid-ate Camera

Think television political ads have changed much since the wide acceptance of television as mass media?

Think again.

The Living Room Candidate is a massive repository of political ads from the past half century of presidential campaigns. Some are laughable, some are horrifying and others, well, don't make sense. But they are still filled with the wonderful sense of, "Vote for me or my opponent might just end up getting us all killed."

Still, it’s more entertaining that watching the ten o’clock news in the final weeks of the campaign. Those few weeks make me miss crappy Ditech commercials. And those commercials make me want to invite an insect into my brain to bore a tunnel through my cortex.
