Hillary 1984

March 19, 2007

Hillary 1984. The mash-up of Ridley Scott’s “1984” ad for Apple with Hillary Clinton’s promotional video has everyone talking. I just wish the talented mystery man, or woman, who made it hadn’t used inch and foot marks instead of proper punctuation. It’s tough being a typography nerd.

    This Hillary 1984 video is getting way overhyped. There are important issues out there more important than
    clever little internet ad campaigns with no real message, especially one that isn’t even original.

    Is she really that bad? Just be sure to choose someone that can win. Get the Republicans out of office.

    Let the mud flinging begin!!! I always find it amusing to observe how these politicians try to defame one another in order to gain an edge. This video may affect Hillary’s ratings on the recent election 2008 polls.

    @ Lloyd: I’m really not sure if she’s that bad, but I do know that the basic criticism in this ad rings true—Hillary Clinton is the total stereotypical droning senator. Sure, it’ll be great to get a Democrat elected regardless, but as of right now, I’m leaning away from Clinton.

Have your say

Don’t be a jerk.
