I predict that the next McCain advertisement will use “In the Year 2525” as background music.

Well, he probably won’t be around then, and maybe I won’t be either.
So is this supposed to appeal to older voters? I don’t get it.

Wow….and the campaign is only about to begin. Do they really think that people will buy into this crap?

The Middle East? Vanished. The Los Angeles Clippers? NBA champions. The oil supply? Endless. The Rolling Stones? Still touring. George W. Bush? A housemate on The Surreal Life. Satire? Unnecessary.

2013, here we come….

That’s some good crack he’s on.

A “mission accomplished” in the making.

Now we know what happened to the lost 30 minutes of footage from Things to Come.

Come on people, be fair. How can you be for democracy yet against the ignorant rabble?

This may be a controversial statement, but perhaps America’s ignorant rabble is more ignorant than the ignorant rabble of other first world countries. At least the others won’t decry universal health care systems as useless socialism. Ask them if they think government should subsidise a trip to the doctor, and they’d answer “Yes, please.”

Good luck bringing back the U.S.S.R.!

By attacking corporate socialism? Um, … ok?

I think we just found the ad’s audience.

How can you be for democracy yet against the ignorant rabble?

When you live in California, land of the initiative, it’s pretty easy. You begin to realize that the Springfield Town Hall meetings on “The Simpsons” are actually documentary footage. (“But Main Street is still cracked and broken.” “Shut up, Mom, the mob has spoken.”)

And how about that image of a stabilized Middle East: what appears to be a nine year old boy with a camel? It looks as if McCain is working from a storehouse of knowledge that starts with Christmas pageants and ends with Amahl and the Night Visitors. Or, more likely, he’s aiming at that fundamentally ignorant demographic.

Actually, McCain is planning on killing every adult in every country where camels are native.

OK, I’m really impressed but then, as a foreigner, I won’t be voting in November.

I think that’s covered at http://www.kottke.org/when-obama-wins/, pilot. But I like your storyboard for the for the gay environmentalism ad.
