I just saw the "Wolves" ad! LOL!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Puppies! Holy crap, was that LAME! Nice green woods, cute fuzzy dogs. Nice job, KKKarl, you tool. I am quaking in my boots now. :silly:

[alittlelark]

1. I would love a link!

But preferably not to a G*B re-selection site.

[jean]

5. the only link I know (to see bush's Wolves ad) is here

http://www.georgewbush.com/

there are probably others - we'll have to look!

[alittlelark]

17. Thanks - DAMN, that was a lame ad.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Saw it on MSNBC.

Sorry, I don't have a link. Probably it's on the :puke: RNC site.

[lectrobyte]

7. Since it's their ad, it's probably on their site. I saw it earlier on

georgewbush.com. Hey, better to use their bandwidth than ours.

[LVdem]

2. Me too...

What the hell is that about?

I don't get it...

[lectrobyte]

3. yeah, it's pretty funny, but pretty bland. They could change the

voice over and show an SUV at the end, and it would be the car ad it wants to be when it grows up.

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

4. kinda enjoyed it in a freakish way

cute puppies too :eyes:

[FrankenforMN]

8. Does anyone think it will work?

Are people THIS afraid? After four years of Bush sometimes I wonder..

[Melodybe]

9. Are you afraid of truck commercials?

[FrankenforMN]

14. I don't quite see the similarities :)

[Lindacooks]

22. Well, since Repukes hate the environment and the natural world

it was probably pretty scary to them. I mean, most of them buy a Land Rover to go to the grocery store, and their only contact with the wilderness is cutting the lawn.

[Anakin Skywalker]

31. They Do. They are Destroyers.

You got it (the first part). I would say, for the second part though, that the more violent among them do UNFORTUNATELY contact the wilderness. That's when they go to slay innocent animals and mow down habitats. "Want some wood?" is not that funny if you think about it.

[GainesT1958]

10. The guy who runs the "New Donkey" blogsite...

Made the comment that they should have tested this ad on kids--to make sure none of them pointed at the screen and exclaimed: "Doggie!":D

Hmmm...wonder if THIS is their "October Surprise"?:eyes:

B-)

[pa28]

11. Those glaring wolves kind of reminded me . . .

of the guys who were eyeballing my Kerry/Edwards sign.

[Bugaboo]

12. I just watched it too...

the way they were describing it on NPR, it sounded like a snarling wolf lunged at the screen at the end, teeth bared. Reality - it looks like the wolves are getting up to get a doggy treat. And the voice-over sounds funky.

Maybe it will actually make some people scared, but overall I thought it was so-so. Let's just say, the anti-Bush ads that feature soldiers from Iraq or families who have lost someone in Iraq are 1000x more moving than evil doggies.

[sr_pacifica]

13. What idiot's idea was that?

Don't they know Americans LOVE wolves?

[jayctravis]

15. "For this ad, we want some scary, feral, snarling wolves....

let's go scope out Petco..."

[kokomo]

26. I once owned a most noble wolf hybrid...used to jump on folks and lick em

I fear an abused pit bull or a Rottweiler more than a wolf. They are noble creatures, NOT good metaphors for terrorists who kidnap a C.A.R.E. lady, threatening to behead her.

My dog had a bit of husky in him but he looked just like a wild wolf.
He had a bad habit of jumping on people, licking them on the face. He scared folks at first, but he loved people and soon had folks forgetting he was mostly "wild".

[Dudley_DUright]

16. Not to mention this just reminds people that Bush is

"the boy who cried wolf" on terror alerts over and over again.

[Dem2theMax]

24. Oh, get that to Kerry. The wolves and the boy who cried wolf.

Kerry can take this ad out in one sentence! LMAO!

Dudley - do what's right :snicker: couldn't resist - send this to Kerry, seriously. It is absolutely perfect!

[Dudley_DUright]

25. I am sure that people like Joe Lockheart

are smart enough to see this opportunity if a simple cartoon character like me can. :-)

[sr_pacifica]

33. Good one! n/t

[DemBones DemBones]

37. Spread that meme! eom

[Skittles]

18. I saw the ad

all I thought was how beautiful those wolves are

[billyoc]

19. I thought it was a Sierra Club ad

"all I thought was how beautiful those wolves are"

If there's been a different reaction to it than that, I haven't heard of it yet. Rove is really losing his touch. Wolves are probably the most beloved symbol of American wildlife there is.

[Skittles]

23. they are beautiful animals

I have a wolf calendar on my wall - something about their eyes is just haunting. I think that ad will be ineffective too.

[kokomo]

28. Rove said ad rated high with focus groups!

I thought Bush didn't believe in focus groups. That is what he used to call a half million folks marching to protest his war -- just another "focus group!"

[ThoughtCriminal]

32. Focus Groups also gave us "New Coke"

I thought they locked that group away. Rove found them.

[grasswire]

20. I was expecting the seven dwarves...

...to come home from work in the woods and little birds and bunnies to bring Snow White her cape.

Hi ho! Hi ho!

[Sporadicus]

21. Turd Blossom is Trying to Tap Into Our Ancestral Memory

He must have been brushing up on Carl Jung, and he's attempting to conjure up some archetypal image to inspire primal fear. He's probably scared of dogs.

[DireStrike]

27. Anyone have ANOTHER link?

The streaming vid doesn't work so well for me... can somebody upload the full WMV somewhere for download?

[Crunchy Frog]

29. New website up, "wolfpacksfortruth"

Click on my wolf picture to see it.

[DemBones DemBones]

38. Nice site! wolfpacksfortruth, LOL, let the wolves speak!

:yourock:

[Anakin Skywalker]

30. My take on this whole wolf thing.

It was not meant for you, silly! ;) The bush base scares easily. They have a knee-jerk reaction that associates things they cannot control (such as wild animals) as "bad, evil" things.

[Big Blue Marble]

34. Wouldn't have horses been scarier? n/t

[Borgnine]

35. No, armadillos! n/t

[bklyncowgirl]

36. Blair Witch Project meets Animal Planet

Seriously, I was expecting that crocodile hunter guy to come out of there and hold out a baby for them.

"I'm a trained professional, don't try this at home, mates."

Actually I thought the wolves were sort of cute, especially at the end when one of the wolves jumped over the other wolf.

This may have tested well in a setting devoid of distractions but I doubt the atmospherics will win over anyone but the truly paranoid and they're probably voting for Bush already.

Of course I could be wrong. This may get to the security moms who don't watch the Discovery channel.

[LynnTheDem]

39. I hear actuarians at National Geographic are wondering

if there'll be a rise in wolf executions because of this ad.

We all know that more retarded people have been executed since the preznut was governor of Texas. . .
