Love It Or Hate It? Obama in 30 Seconds

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

This is not an endorsement of Barack Obama on the day of the crucial Pennsylvania primary... and you'll certainly understand why after seeing these videos, since some of them are embarrassingly bad. Just because you "get" Obama, doesn't mean you can make a 30 second advertisement that is creative, fresh, passionate, memorable, and effective.

Check out some examples of both the best and worst of a small chunk of the 1,100 videos submitted for MoveOn's contest. Let us know how terrible or inspiring you think they are... and apologies for the jarring auto-play these are all set to...

Little kids, that are obviously under voting age, being used like little whores for election campaigns makes me want to vomit all over everything. Next video: dogs wearing hats and shot through a wide angle lens...Super Cute Obama supporters!

The first and last two videos were atrocious. The second and third videos were the best, though the second wins for me.... Clean shots nice imagery...
