Bush Ad Contest Results

I recently wrote about the Bush in 30 Seconds contest finalists. The results of the celebrity judging are in and it is time to admit that I was wrong in my prediction.

The winner was Child’s Pay. I gave this ad an honorable mention in my evaluations. So I think the celebrity judges deserve more credit than I predicted they deserve. If you want my own thoughts on the ad see my previous post.

On a side note, I had to laugh when I read the
ANTI-BUSH AD CONTEST SUBMITS SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL article at Ad Age.

A spokesman at Leo Burnett USA's Chicago headquarters said the ad was shot in Denmark by a freelance director and a two-person crew who were friends of Mr. Fisher.

I think this is vaguely amusing given that the tag line for the ad is, "Guess who's going to pay off President Bush's $1 trillion deficit?" If I were uncharitable, I guess the hidden answer is the Danish people oddly enough.
