I happened to catch a McCain/Palin commercial last night. Until the end I was sure if it was an Obama ad making fun of the competition or just a confusing McCain ad.
Anyway, at the end the commercial refers to McCain and Palin as “real mavericks” who will bring “real change.”
For some reason, it brought to mind Spinal Tap.
Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest): “And then, we looked at each other and said…”
David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean): “Said, look, why not?”
Nigel: “…we might as well join up. You know?”
David: “So, we became the Originals.”
Nigel: “Right.”
David: “And, uh, we had to change our name, actually.”
Nigel: “Well, there was another group, in the east end, called the Originals and we had to rename ourselves.”
David: “the New Originals.”
Nigel: “the New Originals.”
David: “Yeah.”
Nigel: “And they became…”
David: “…the Regulars. They changed their name back to the Regulars. And we thought we could go back to the Originals, but what’s the point?”
Quality Spinal Tap reference.
I too thought the ad was either an ad made by a supporter or an Obama ad.
The McCain campaing in general gets a D in marketing. The website stinks and not for nothing, the picture of Palin they picked is not the best.
