The Political Circus

This ad has once again drawn the line connecting McCain and George W. I can't bring myself to take this very seriously. From the circus music to the hokey pictures used, in some way, I feel like it borderlines making a mockery of politics. I think the people who produced the ad (Service Employees International Union) would probably say it is McCain and Bush who have created much of the chaos and circustry (not an actual word) that is present in the political arena. I think I just have a hard time taking them seriously since they don't seem to be taking the election seriously. As our class discussions have certainly shown, there is a place for humor in this election, but I don't think ads is where voters want to see it.
