Satire or attack ads?
Rated:
23/6’s SwiftKids for Truth advertisements have been receiving mixed reviews, and the jury is still out regarding whether these are tongue-in-cheek satire or low-blow attack ads.
What do you think?

These ads are just to creepy to sit through. Are they the rights answer to the kid from MD advocating healthcare coverage from a couple months ago I wonder?
Wow. I really hope they’re tongue in cheek satire. Please let them be. Otherwise, they are too disturbing for words. Regardless, as tnichlsn says, they are just too creepy.
I think that they are satirical, and I think that they are funny as hell. My favorite is the John Edwards one about the $4000 manicure and the largest air conditioner in the world. My take on the “ads” is that they are satirical pokes at the handling of political candidates by the media; Sen. Clinton is not feminine enough or is too feminine, John Edwards spends too much on his haircuts, Sen. Obama has a name that is too difficult to pronounce, etc.
I think they’re satirical, or at least they better be. Its funny stuff, but I agree will AL that there’s got to be some idiots out there who just watch and nod and say “Ya’ll see, that there’s what’s wrong with America!”
