Here's the latest Dems health care ad.

Here is video of a new National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) ad that is already tying vulnerable Democrats to their support of the radical policies being pushed by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. Expect to see this as a trend heading into the summer and fall of next year as the 2010 Congressional Elections draw near. In this case the target is New York Democrat Rep. Michael Arcuri of the 24th Congressional District. . . . (Watch Video)

Dear Friend: I have some very shocking news. ABC television has banned our TV ad from airing on its network. Frankly, I was stunned when I heard the news from our media buyer yesterday. Right now, our TV ad exposing Obamacare is running in 12 states. You can see this powerful ad here: https://www.newsmaxstore.com/contribute/lav/?s=al&promo_code=85D0-1 With our success thanks to your incredible support we were planning to go national, so we sent the ad to the major networks. This TV ad simply tells the truth about Obamacare. It was crafted by Dick Morris, the Fox News contributor and famous campaign strategist....

Has anyone noticed when they sign on to AOL, social networks or surf the net, there are banner ads touting "Obama wants to send you to college" or "Obama wants to lower your insurance". What is going on? It disturbs me that any politician would be elevated this way--especially when it puts him in the company of celebrity leaders like Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Castro and Chavez who were/are beloved leaders who promised to improve life for the believers at other people's expense. This isn't Obama paying for college or insurance, it's the taxpayers! It should be advertised as such: "Do...

Turns out the official recipe for fun and the way to create an Internet sensation are the same: Start with a megacorporation, add in a group of Germans on a hillside, liberally take advantage of slick editing software and let the power of the Web do its thing. If you spend any time online, have a TV or know anyone who does, you've probably heard about the latest craze blasting its way through cyberspace. In case you haven't, a recap: A guy in a neoprene suit goes barreling down a waterslide, flies off the end and through the air, traveling...

For the second day a patriot has taken over Politico' home page with ads slamming the press. Go here to see: http://www.politico.com

Smokey Bear is celebrating his sixty-fifth birthday, but that doesn't mean he is throwing in his shovel just yet. Actually, thanks to computer enhancement the classic cartoon is more buff than ever-- and taller than most NBA players. And he's back for another round of small-screen fire prevention ads. But with this new Smokey comes a new slogan. He's asking Americans to "Get Their Smokey On." Not only is the bear trying to stop forest fires, but he's now asking folks to be responsible when it comes to camp fires, cigarette butts and matches. Even though Smokey may qualify for...

WASHINGTON — The drug industry has authorized its lobbyists to spend as much as $150 million on television commercials supporting President Obama’s health care overhaul, beginning over the August Congressional recess, people briefed on the plans said Saturday. The unusually large scale of the industry’s commitment to the cause helps explain some of a contentious back-and-forth playing out in recent days between the odd-couple allies over a deal that the White House struck with the industry in June to secure its support. The terms of the deal were not fully disclosed. Both sides had announced that the drug industry would...

Job opportunites working on urgent grassroots campaigns This summer we have the opportunity to make huge gains on critical issues, from repowering America with clean, renewable energy and reducing our dependence on oil, to fixing the high cost of health care, to winning the battle for equal rights. America’s leading advocacy groups are gearing up to meet these challenges this summer. In order to win, they need citizen support and grassroots action. That’s where we come in. At the Fund for the Public Interest, we’ve been organizing campaigns to protect the environment, stand up for the public interest, and defend...

The Tea Parties and showing up at listening sessions to voice you complaints are great, but we have to do more. We need to donate to groups fighting ObamaCare. It's up to us as big Pharma and the major insurance plans are cutting deals with the Democrats, instead of funding resistance to it. see for details: http://www.wtop.com/?nid=116&sid=1735787 They are dealing with the devil, but will be disappointed as Pelosi and Waxman have already said the deals won't be honored. Rush on Friday mentioned an Internet site that is doing good grass roots education and lobbying against OmamaCare. If you recall...

A controversial ad campaign featured in the Washington, D.C., metro area is comparing public school lunches across the country to what President Obama's daughters eat at their elite private school. MyFOXDC.com reports that the ad, sponsored by Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, shows an eight-year-old girl speaking about the "healthy" vegetarian lunch choices Sasha and Malia Obama have at Sidwell Friends -- a Quaker private school in Northwest Washington, D.C. The girl then asks, "Why don't I?"

The 60 Plus Association, a 17-year-old nonpartisan senior citizens advocacy group often referred to as the “conservative alternative to the AARP” today released a TV ad warning the elderly that the healthcare proposal touted by the Obama Administration “means massive Medicare cuts in order to pay for healthcare ‘reform’.” See the ad at www.60plus.org. “This strikes at the heart of the debate over the value of our seniors’ lives versus the cost of expensive treatments they need to stay healthy or get better,” said Jim Martin, President of 60 Plus. Entitled “Sacrifice,” the ad states that seniors today, The Greatest...

Here is a new GOP ad that turns the tables on the White House's claim there is a lot of "disinformation" out there about Health Care. In fact, the ad shows that it is President Obama himself and other Democrats who are putting out "disinformation." . . . . . (Watch Video)

A commercial for Apoliva, an assortment of personal care products for Apotoket, featuring Swedish supermodel Adina Fohlin has made a major splash, although not quite the one that the Swedish pharmacy chain was hoping for. Rather than running out to purchase Apoliva products, viewers are running scared. The 30-second ad spot, set to the haunting tones of a Swedish folk song, depicts a close-up of a rather sullen and emaciated Fohlin standing in the snow, rain and sun. The clip ends with the tagline, “Apoliva – for Swedish conditions”. Almost 100,000 Swedes, many of whom viewed the clip on YouTube,...

Harry and Louise -- the run-of-the-mill, middle-class "couple" who became a household name in 1993 with critical ads against "Hillary-care" -- are back. But they've flipped. The TV actors are weighing in on the health care debate -- only this time they're promoting comprehensive reform supported by Democrats. The two, whose full names are Louise Caire Clark and Harry Johnson, joined Democratic lawmakers for a press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday to accompany their new multi-million dollar ad campaign, set to launch this weekend, which voices full-fledged support for the $1 trillion-and-up universal health care push on Capitol Hill. "I...

Rahm warns liberal groups to stop ads By: Jonathan Martin August 6, 2009 07:37 PM EST White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel warned liberal groups this week to stop running ads against Democratic member of Congress. The powerful top aide to President Obama made his feelings known at the weekly closed-door strategy session of an array of progressive organizations, according to two sources who were there. Emanuel’s request came on the same day that Obama himself told a meeting of Democratic senators that he didn’t like seeing dollars used by liberal groups to target congressional Democrats. Some on the...

The Republican National Committee has just released a web ad that writes off Obama's presidency as "a failed experiment in just 200 days."

WASHINGTON -- The escalating war to block Barack Obama's hostile takeover of our healthcare system has moved to a wider battlefield of TV ads, Internet videos and town-hall meetings where his opponents may have the advantage. With Congress on vacation through Labor Day, the grassroots ad wars of August against Obama's government-run medical-care scheme is being fought out on a more level playing field where Republicans have shown they're better at this kind of combat than their Democratic rivals. Think Hillarycare, for example, an incomprehensible, Rube Goldberg budget buster that Democrats never brought up for a vote in the House...

Here is video of a new Democrat National Committee (DNC) ad attacking citizens who are opposing a Government-takeover of Health Care as an "angry mob" comprised of "right-wing extremists of the Republican base." The ad is designed to squelch dissent from the radical policies of President Obama by labeling those who disagree as "extremists." Of course, the ad uses the Democrats' favorite line, "They lost the election," as if Americans who voted for Obama in the midst of a frightening economic downturn really thought that when they voted for him, they were voting to become a European-style socialist nation. I...

Here is video of a Media Matters ad attacking CNN's Lou Dobbs for his coverage of the Obama Birth Certificate Controversy. The ad ends with urging viewers to tell "the most trusted name in news" (CNN) there is nothing "legitimate about racially charged paranoia." As far as I know, neither Lou Dobbs nor anyone else that has investigated the President's birth certificate have ever said anything about race. It's Media Matters that is overtly trying to make this about race, which is the usual M.O. of the far Left and the Liberal Media. They also leave out the fact that...

Here is a great new video that drives home the point that it might be smart to "test" the idea of turning Health Care over to the Government before undertaking a total overhaul of America's Health Care System. The humorous ad, put out by Let Freedom Ring USA, is one in a series intended to help Americans think about what President Obama is trying to do to the country. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Okay, this is an intriguing new frontier in political media criticism. Media Matters, which has been attacking CNN for not reining in Lou Dobbs’ birther obsession, has now purchased air time to run a TV ad attacking “CNN’s Lou Dobbs problem” — during Dobbs’ show! A Media Matters spokesman tells me the group has bought a week of ad time on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News in D.C., New York, and Atlanta, beginning Tuesday. The catch: Media Matters has specifically purchased time to air the ad during Dobbs’ show — putting CNN in the position of either running the spot...

Angered by TV ad campaigns being run against him by liberal Democrats pushing for government run health care reform, Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) threatened that he and his fellow conservative Democrats would be forced to kill the health care reform deal reached by House Democrats if the ads continued. Nelson's office said the pro-health care reform attack ads "backfired," prompting "hundreds of Nebraskans to call our offices, with 9 to 1 urging Senator Nelson to do exactly the opposite of what the special interest group wanted." Continuing to keep up the pressure, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee responded in a...

What do murder, pedophilia, suicide and a baby tiger have in common? They have all been used to sell stuff in these amazingly disturbing vintage ads! These are real, untouched advertisements from the good old days.

With Republicans citing the continuing economic distress to bash the economic stimulus plan pushed through by President Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress, the Democratic National Committee is hitting back with a media campaign blaming Republicans for creating the mess to begin with. In a new TV ad announced today, the DNC goes after the top four congressional Republicans -- Senators Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Jon Kyl of Arizona, and Representatives John Boehner of Ohio and Eric Cantor of Virginia -- by saying they "supported the Bush policies that sank our economy into recession. They broke it -...

I'm at work, just checked my yahoo email, in the panel on the right are ads from some dating service, of course it's a full screen tall "tower add" with scantily clad sexpots on it. Then I go check our weather, it'a bra's this time on Accuweather, big ads too with girls in nothing but bra's, and this is how my day goes. I'm check my sites throughout the day at work and feel like I'm going to get nailed for being on illicit sites but these are mainstream sites, the ads the allow to run are border line porn....

Here is video of a powerful new web ad that makes it clear the elderly and unborn would be caught is a poential "death trap" if President Obama's Government Health Care bill becomes law. Throughout the video a heartbeat can be heard as it details the threat to the unborn, older people, and the terminally ill. Basically, it shows what is becoming clear, that health care will be rationed under Obama's plan, and taxpayer funds would be used to pay for abortion on demand. It cites actual cases from countries with national health care to support it's assertions. As the...

Here is flashback video of ads from 1994, both for and against, "HillaryCare" which went down to defeat. There are two ads against Government Health Care, and two ads in favor of it. The first ad is an anti-HillaryCare ad featuring a couple named "Harry and Louise." The Democrats built their two pro-HillaryCare ads off the "Harry and Louise" theme. The issues debated then are virtually identical to what is being debated today, 15 years later. . . . . . (Watch Video)

I saw the most effective commercial I've ever seen. The commercial, very quickly, puts forward the best argument against government-controlled health care. (snip) If this commercial gets a wider audience it could be the nail in the coffin.

The parties have each released new commercials, so we can have our fun with them. First up, the Dems. They would like to use the Palin resignation for their advantage, so they tried to shoehorn a couple of other scenarios to make it look like some pattern by Republicans: [both commercials posted after the jump]

CHICAGO — Does hardware have a softer side? Home Depot thinks so. It is testing a warm-and-fuzzy approach to selling hammers, lighting and garage doors that is targeted at female shoppers. Responding to long-time criticism that its warehouse environment was simply too rough for many women, the nation's largest do-it-yourself retailer is set to open the two test stores, called Home Depot Design Centers, later this month in Charlotte, N.C., and Concord, Calif. They're fashioned as a hybrid of the typical Home Depot (HD) store and its Expo stores, the retailer's upscale design-studio concept. Jason Feldman, the company's senior director...

Here is video of a new ad put out by OurCountryPAC.org which compares the Obama Administration to the tactics used by the regime in power in Iran. It cites articles about voter fraud, government takeovers, etc., with a picture of Iranian President Ahamdinejad next to the reports. Then, the ad points out the articles are not about Iran but about the Obama Administration. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Simply a must see Ford commercial. Ford, the only car company NOT getting a bailout.

Watch the ad that's driving the liberals berserk!

The controversial message was pulled down over the weekend by the billboard's owner, SignAd, in response to intense media coverage and criticism from activists such as Quanell X, according to the leader of the conservative grassroots group that sponsored the billboard.

Here is video from 1984 when Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire during the sixth take of a Pepsi commercial he was filming with his brothers. The clip shows one take where pyrotechnics in the commercial exploded as planned after Jackson goes down the stairs and begins performing with his brothers. But on the sixth take, things go wrong. The pyrotechnics go off too quickly and you can see Jackson's hair on fire. At first he is unaware of it and eventually you see his brothers and others help him to get the fire out. The video says he suffered...

Another good one! Linked below.

Johansson, who replaced Penelope Cruz as the face of the high street brand, was lensed by legendary photog Mario Sorrenti, delightfully capturing the actress’s shimmering sexiness and playful appeal. The Mango ensemble simply looks great on her and will likely be strongly embraced by the fashion conscious.

Steven Meisel shot the Russian gang Natasha Poly, Sasha Pivovarova and Anna Selezneva for the Phi F/W 09-10 ad campaign. And the willowy waifs, back in black, are alright, benefiting from Meisel’s spartan touch. For some reason, they remind us of the three fates stylishly updated for the new millennium or much more groovicized versions of Macbeth’s witches, beautiful Baba Yagas to be sure.

(CNN) — As the Senate Judiciary Committee begins hearings on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, a Latino group is launching a radio ad in Florida highlighting Republican opposition to the first Hispanic nominee to the high court. The ad, sponsored by Presente.org and Progressive Change Campaign Committee, features past remarks from conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh declaring Sotomayor a 'racist," and attacks Republican Rep. John Mica of the Florida's 7th Congressional District for not denouncing the remarks. Full English translation of the ad: Sonia Sotomayor is set to be the first Latina and Puerto Rican to serve on the...

Search engine giant Google is apparently disallowing advertisements for abortion businesses in several nations, some of which prohibit abortions and some of which don't. The rational behind the Google decision remained unclear, which abortion advocates are blasting, LifeNews reports. Pro-abortion activist Lori Adelman corresponded with a staff member at Google who confirmed the denial of abortion advertising.

...A video was produced to promote Gay Day at the Movies featuring a pair of "Bumblebee Boys" in Camaro-branded briefs washing the Bowtie brand's pony car revival. The cheeky (pardon the pun) video is clearly targeted at the gay community and uses beefcake car washers to that effect in a not-so-subtle way.

Burger King, which runs a global chain of hamburger fast food restaurants in more than 70 countries, has apologised for running an advertisement in Spain that offended the Hindus. "We are apologising because it wasn't our intent to offend anyone," Denise T Wilson, spokesman of Burger King said in an email when asked about the demand of the Hindu community that the company need to apologise for running an advertisement which its leaders said were offensive to their religion. "Burger King Corporation (BKC) values and respects all of its guests as well as the communities we serve. This in-store advertisement...
