I know JC is southern because he mashes (rather than simply pushes) the mute button. My mother used to tell me to “mash the brake.”

It's weird. I've heard that in a lot of places (including Boston), and so I don't think of it as Southern. But I go to the internet and every page I look at says that it's a regional southern thing.

I finally found a reference to "mashing de brakes" from a Caribbean-American who went to college in the NY area. Mash makes sense as a phrase coming from the Caribbean (since so much food in that area is mashed), and an overlap between Southern language and Caribbean language does exist. So maybe that's the vector that took it up north.
 


Saw a very good anti-Bishop ad repeatedly today during football tying Bishop to Mark Robinson with Bishop’s own words but haven’t found a link online yet.
 


Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
And build them a home, a little place of their own.
The Fletcher Memorial
Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings.

And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit T.V.
To make sure they're still real.
It's the only connection they feel.
 
Ted Cruz is such a noxious asshole. His new ad is targeting transgender people which is reprehensible on its own, but in addition to that it uses the pictures of two girls from Oregon who 1) did not give permission for their use and 2) ARE NOT TRANS.

The Lincoln Project presents TFG in original German

More masturbation from the Lincoln Project. That is a terrible ad, and will move the needle not at all.

1. It's way too long; it doesn't announce what it is; and it's got German language and horrible imagery. I'd imagine that most people watching it -- and the people who need to hear it -- won't watch until the punch line.

2. It is too subtle. It requires viewers to know those are Trump's words. Again, that might play well on this message board but who is the ad for? Us?

The ad should have started with 5 seconds of Nazi imagery and Hitler's words and Hitler's face. Then Hitler morphs into Trump's talking face, saying one of those lines in English. Then the ad should say, "Trump's words in the original German" and then go back to the Nazi imagery.

This ad made by and for PhDs is bad, in my opinion. I don't know who does the LP creative but so many of their ads suck because they are basically preaching to the Lincoln Project audience. Who doesn't need it.
 
Meanwhile you have Trump ads that literally just say:

They hate meat.
They hate trucks.
They hate America.

And then just shows video of Trump. If that ad was made for me I'd be so offended with how dumb they think I am. I have no idea how that shit works on people.

Read nycfan's post on another thread about her work with semi-literate adults.

Also, remember that the GOP is all about hating the right people. Well, those ads are communicating that Harris and the libs hate the wrong stuff or people.
