Have you noticed McCain's Celebrity Ads are no longer on the Olympics?
Methinks they did not do much for McCain at all.

They stood out like a sore thumb against all of the positive ads.

I was just reading an article today about which Olympics ads made the biggest impact. The article said they were all positive, emotional and inspirations.

Epic fail, McCain!

2. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that McCain is publicly trashing NBC?

3. Oh, he still has ads on NBC, that's not what is being asked.
What the OP asked is whether he stopped using the "celebrity" one.

I don't know. The only one I saw last night was the one that said Washington is broken (yeah, as if Gramps isn't part of the brokenness). The one that features an image of an old-fashioned analog gas pump with the mechanical numbers twirling. The one featured in Obama's ad has a digital readout. Says a lot just with the visual, doesn't it? I'm surprised McCain's ad didn't show someone trying to pump gas into a Model T.

4. I thought that was his only ad.

I haven't seen any others. Weird.
