Ha! I saw that this morning and immediately went onto to mock the "big daddy" portion.
I saw it and immediately tried to remember if Senator Big Daddy had run a commercial wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving in previous years. Don't think so. So, I guess he only wishes me a happy Thanksgiving when he's running for re-election? And yes, I thought it was a bit creepy.
And those accents! MY GOD! You KNOW those children attend private school... I thought all rich southern families worked to have a refined Southern accent, not that screeching "See mah first pair of shoes!" screeching in that commercial. Reminded me of that old "It's shake n bake and AHHH Helped!" commercial.
"Vote for my Big Daddy" indeed. Who is he, Blanche Devereaux's daddy? And the children's
actual father...is he their "little daddy"?
You mean that commercial that was on like every 30 seconds?
Saxby Chambliss is the final frontier in Washington scummery: a voting record that looks more like a collage of campaign contribution money-for-legislation, a condescending, smearing style of attack against his opponents, and using irrelevant things -- like this commercial: Ooh, look at my rich white family! We love Thanksgiving! Don't YOU love Thanksgiving? Vote for us and one day maybe your home won't be forclosed on, you'll have a good job, and your wife will get as many breast implants as mine! -- to mobilize people who have no rational interest to vote for him to vote for him.
Good thing I voted to put a boot in his ass, and hopefully a majority of Georgians will by December 2nd.
Am I the only one who thought that the painting in said commercial is only matched in ugliness by the curtains in the background?
Geesh...you would think that with all the money that Big Daddy hauls in from Big Agribusiness that they would be able to buy some taste but I guess not.
While I don't think the ad will fool anyone, it was the best type of ad to run on Thanksgiving.
The thing that struck me was the positive prayers for President Elect Obama. I know we couldn't mentioned Bush without Obama, but I could have seen him leaving them both out. I am not fooled in to thinking that this is some type of new partisanship by Saxby, but I do think some could.
Jim Martin has a big Southern family too, and I wonder how many people know that? I kind of wish he would have beaten Saxby to the punch.
David - What about the part at the end where he gropes his granddaughter? Think Jim should emulate that too? ;P
Hadn't noticed how high the hand was until you mentioned it.
Skip the "big daddy" and other side stuff, but the big family is good to show around the holidays.
I also think it would dovetail well with the spot Jim Martin has been running about his daughter being kidnapped.
Personally I think all the meaningless personalistic bullshit should stay out of elections and the PR execs who design those commercials shipped to China for half a dozen years of hard labor.
