Vince Fumo, Moving To Camera 2
Challenger Anne Dicker's camp sent over this ad for Vince Fumo's State Senate re-election bid yesterday, complaining that Fumo really hasn't done much for illegal guns on the streets. Fair enough.
But I believe the real beauty in this ad is, um, the ad itself. I didn't really notice how brilliant it was 'til it aired after Gladiators last night: Fumo serving the people dinner, the face of the dude at the kitchen table, the little head-tilt by Fumo at the end. Forget the State Senate, we need to get Vince Fumo a sitcom.
If I were Anne Dicker, I'd just show this ad on an infinite loop at one of her watering hole meetups; I can't see how a night of drinking and watching this ad over and over could do anything but increase attendance.

Yea, he'll serve you dinner in a dumptruck if he needs your vote. He was a good guy when he first started out, a man that wanted to help people, someone that cannot help himself from helping himself. Like addicted to choking the chicken and can't stop. He Fff-up went too far, got too big for his shoes and forgot why he started. Good luck with the upcoming trial.

Hahaha! Vote for Vince Fumo! He'll serve you dinner and confuse your children!
Seriously though, there is plenty of room for humor in political ads. But maybe a political ad about removing illegal murder weapons from the streets isn't the place for jokes.
