What if McCain Hired Hollywood Directors for His Campaign Ads?
We’re in the homestretch of this political cycle. As such, we can expect the blitzkrieg of campaign ads attempting to sway the undecided. Not living in one of the “battleground” states, I’m shielded from most of the presidential attack ads, although state and local ads still permeate the airwaves. Thank [insert deity here] that I don’t have to see those ads as much as people in Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Florida do! But what if the ads were more entertaining? What if some of the big Hollywood directors were in charge of swaying the undecided? How would that play out for the candidates? It would definitely be more entertaining to watch! Here’s a little montage of what it would be like if John Woo (Mission Impossible II), Kevin Smith (Clerks), and Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums) were to direct attack ads for John McCain.
Thank you Landline TV!
If only politicians were this creative. I wish politics was more fun. Things could get interested if there were director battles where directors made shorts for the candidate they were backing. That would be freaking dope. Good job sharing this one Chris

I think it would show everyone where the campaign dollars are really going…
“Support McCain!
I owe Steven Spielberg $20,000. I’m John McCain and I approve this ad”
That would be soooo funny!
