Hey, there are so many good, bad, interesting, disgusting political ads this campaign on the 'net, I thought it might be good to start a thread where we can gather links for them.

Here's what I'd like to do:

1. Post the link to a memorable ad, with title
2. State who the ad supports, and/or who it is "against"
3. Any relevant details you think important about the ad, it origin or source.

I'd prefer (although I doubt it'll work out this way) to keep the detailed political discussion on other threads.

Lets see how many we collect over the next several months.

1. "Dig It."

2. Anti-Obama

3. Ad uses Obama's relationship with Ayers and Dorne. Mentions Charles Manson.

It took you two posts to set that up? Trying to pad your post count?

Err... except that the company that advises Mugabe on his ads is a subsidiary of UK ad firm, WPP, perhaps?

There have been some classics down the years in England......

2002ish the Conservative Party had prints of Tony Blair splashed all over billboards.......have a look at this at 0.32

Then there was a left wing poster of Tony Blair with the nike sign above his head and the slogan "Just Do One".....("do one" is English slang meaning fuck off)......
