Campaign Ads Taken Too Far
by Melissa Fajardo ’13
It seems like a new presidential campaign commercial is airing every other day. Yet, all the commercials are the same; they each have a still photo of a candidate with a voice dubbed over that makes everything sound 10 times worse than it is. The negative commentary distorts the photos too, and puts the candidates in a bad light. Sooner or later these commercials are going to have no impact on voters and sound more like an SNL parody.
