Something Prescient: "Let's name names and take no prisoners."


Dale Peterson for the Alabama Agriculture Commission

Found at Bookworm Room's "The political ad everyone is talking about" whose commenter JKB offers this insight:

This ad also seems to get the internet. It is fast paced to keep you attention in the internet world. You can always hit replay or go on line if you see it on TV. Most ads and interviews on the internet are still paced at TV speed which doesn't work when you can open another site or read your Twitter while a video is playing. Geekbrief TV has this pace. A breathless info dump that knows you'll be moving on in a minute so doesn't waste your time. Everything is pull these days. Push has been out run and fallen face down in the mud.
Word.

Great ad.

One minor complaint, though major depending upon your perspective, finger shall remain off trigger until ready to fire down range.

Semper Fi

Regarding the trigger finger: I suspect he may have spied a hog rooting about in on the back forty.

Wow, I know nothing about the man but it makes me wanna scream "Hell, yeah!" pick up a rifle and defend the soil from the God Damned Yankees, or illegals, or whoever is tryin' to mess with All that is Good. Great work.

the God Damned Yankees

Lots of Red Sox, Mets, and Phillies fans would be delighted if Alabama would get its own MLB team and whup the Evil Empire in the Bronx.

I'm probably going to annoy my collegues the entire week trying to copy that 'do you know why' at 0:20.

Winchester. Could it be the .44 magnum?

Yeah baby.

Yeah, I found the finger on the trigger bit disturbing as well. Featuring a gun is great, but handle it the right way please.

The horse seemed pretty relaxed about the whole thing.

I lived in North Alabama for 17 years and still pine for it. Yeah, Buddy!

Other than the fact that he was a cop. It's pretty good.

Does he want to run for President?
