An infographic from ReTargeter took a look at election spend and found that Obama spent $52,006,072 compared to Romney’s $26,230,293. The $52M Obama spent is about $12 million more than it cost to build the Lincoln Memorial and $26 million more than Romney spent.
I guess today we’ll know whether or not the spend paid off. See the full infographic below.
Miami Ad School Students, Christoffer Ahlen and Philip Hovensjo have created The Last Debate, a site on which tweets with #speakromney and #speakobama respectively are directed to the mouths of the candidates themselves. While the debates may be over, not until the election is final will the mud cease to be slung. So have at it while you can.
Leading up to election day and Washington State’s referendum 74, Redhook beer, with help from Seattle-based Frank Unlimited, has taken a pro same-sex marriage stance with an ad that says “getting married is so gay. It’s about time.”
It’s always a gamble when a brand takes a stand on such polarizing issues. At risk is the loss of business from one end of the spectrum or the other. But it’s admirable when a brand is brave enough to publicly share its collective beliefs

Oh it’s funny when Samuel L. Jackson says, “Wake the fuck up.” But it’s even funnier when an eight year old girl screams it out the window. That’s basically the scenario of this Jewish Council for Education and Research-funded pro-Obama video featuring none other than the motherfucking king, himself, Samuel L. Jackson.
Five years ago, the smoking hot Amber Lee Ettinger (who, by the way, loves Adrants) took on the role of Obama Girl in a series of videos created by Barely Political and scored by Leah Kaufman. This time around, Ettinger has decided to sit out telling The Daily Caller she “is not as excited as I was the last time, that’s for sure.”
In her stead, songstress Leah Kaufman, herself, is in front of the camera with a new song entitled “Still a Crush on Obama.” Sure, she’s not as hot as Ettinger but her message is just as passionate this time around.
The original:
Obama Girl declares love for Adrants:
And just for fun, I Love Bush:
Yesterday President Barak Obama enlisted some help from Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) in a video hyping the Democratic National Convention. In the video, Obama can be seen making a call and saying, “Hey, this is Barack. Listen, I need to know if you’re on board. Cause I’m counting on you. Everybody is. We have to get this right. So there’s a lot at stake here. Just remember that I’m trusting you on this, and I’ll see you then.”
The scene then shifts to Cho and Penn sitting on a couch, eating junk food and watching TV. A voiceover at the end promotes Penn as host of convention coverage which begins September 6 in Charlotte, NC.
We suppose presidents today have to do whatever they can to reach the public but enlisting a couple of stoner characters to hype viewership for a presidential convention seems to devalue what should be a moment of supreme political importance.
Never one to shy away from controversy, dating site AshleyMadison, which enables hooks ups for married people, has offered to buy Limbaugh’s canceled inventory for three months.

McDonald’s. Still telling “people” it’s a good thing to reward good grades with crappy food.

Hoping to recruit film buffs to the Democratic Party, Truth Through Action launched its first indy production, Blue Balled. Where it lacks political depth, it compensates in party-line zeal.
Contributing to the idea that anything the zeitgeist has to say must be useful to The World At Large, SaysMe.tv lets would-be propagandists air political ads on the cheap.
For people that are bored with the power struggle between the charismatic black man and the woman who’ll pursue her ambition to the ends of our patience, some relief is circulating the ‘net today:
In an ad bluntly called “McCain, Fire Charlie Black,” MoveOn tries strong-arming John McCain into dismissing his lobbyist, whose firm allegedly made millions by aiding dictators, terrorists and sundry other villains.
By now the words “hope” and “Obama” are inseparable. And the man certainly hasn’t welded himself to the ideal without help.
In the course of his Presidency, George W. Bush has both enraged us and made us laugh, often at the same time. We’ve seen plenty of ways where his unique talent has manifested in reactionary advertising. Sometimes the results are funny, sometimes they piss us off, and often they do both at once.
