What exactly does this mean if the mish-mash of moving hard-to-understand (for me at least) graphics is supposed to be agood example of it? I quite like the cartoons, but some of the words embedded in the graphics were VERY hard to see before the show moved on to the next gimmick - and that's how I'd really sum up this effort: 'gimmicky'. And I very much doubt if it came cheap either (even if it is recycled).<br /><br />Most of the others - well, if a voter makes his/her choice influenced by these self-serving 'puff pieces' then he/she deserves all he/she gets. Although I certainly won't be voting for the 'Jury Team' they at least seem normal people - if rather focussed on the 'middle classes', so I doubt if anyone living in a deprived area could identify with them at all; I may basically be mildly right-of-centre in my views (libertarian really) but I did find that aspect of their piece rather jarring.<br /><br />A lovely picure of the 'White Cliffs' in the last video; just a pity it has been used by that particular group - of course one can see the Scottish and Welsh versions of that particular brand of parochialism in SNP and Plaid election broadcasts.<br /><br />A good effort to put all these in one place.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393265755614039206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206230760891278528.post-9868575439876639492009-05-30T09:06:45.818+01:002009-05-30T09:06:45.818+01:00Whilst I don't necessarily agree with all your com...Whilst I don't necessarily agree with all your commentary on these video propaganda efforts (specially the first! - lol) I think this is a noble effort and I admire your fortitude ;)Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393265755614039206noreply@blogger.com
