When I think of political ads that are ethical and make me want to vote for someone, I think of something that is very professional, straight to the point, simply done, and overall just quick and easy. When you watch some of these ads that some candidates running for positions have placed for the viewing pleasure of others, it just makes you sick. When I watched an ad by a candidate named Mike Huckabee I was in complete disbelief. This man decided that he was going to place the great Chuck Norris in his commercial and sit there for a good 30 seconds making Chuck Norris jokes. The man must have thought he was 13 and could get away with that. If I had the opportunity to vote for this man there is no way in my life I would after I saw that junk.
Then i go and watch another ad where the republican party is talking down about this man Bill Sali. Within the ad they thought it would be necessary to say, "he's an absolute idiot", and "he doesn't have one ounce of empathy in his whole FRICKEN body". These politicians are talking like they are in middle school again. The whole ad was thrown out the window once they decided to throw all that jazz.
The other ads I placed in my top 5 of worst political ads ever were just terrible. They had no point to them at all and one kept repeating the same thing over an over. Another one was this black candidate making fun of this white guy trying to rap using the stereotype of, white people can not rap and if they try it is annoying. The other was the candidate as a giant and above every other person in the state of Texas.
All of these ads had something in common, the fact they went against everything I believe an ad should go towards. I understand if you want to make an ad talking about the negatives another candidate had done in the past, but use professional language while doing so. Also make an ad that will help you not hurt you in the end. If you really want to get the votes of the people all you have to do is be professional, make a strong appeal, and make it short and convincing. It truly is as simple as that.
