Created by creative director - Tor Myhren from Grey NYC, the posters slice through the race issue between candidates - acknowledging that much of this campaign has predictably but stupidly been re-cast as a battle between black and white. Myhren's powerful imagery rightly implies that this is all just distraction, seeking to refocus our attention onto what really matters - the issues.
Even before the results are in, the posters have become collectors items, with New Yorkers unable to help themselves from swiping them off the streets.

As I always say when I like something even remotely advertising related... brilliant! Not only is it so extremely true, it is well executed. I just read a post on wheresmyjetpack.blogspot.com that so well exemplifies this point. (Titled, "The Content of his Character"). I've already voted (absentee)... it was a really tough decision for me. In fact, I voted for all the other things on the ballot, waited a week, voted for president and them immediately sealed the envelope and sent it away. I will not say who I voted for (not becuase I am embarrased, but because I truely do not care who you voted for so I don't really care to tell you who I voted for) but I based my vote soley on the issues and who I think will be right for this country, not becuase of anything else.
But, enough of this blabber... I'm just happy all this will be over sooooon! :) (Did I ever tell anyone that I hate politics???)
I'm also not a fan of politics at all, although I do admit I got a little into it since this is my first time voting. I did absentee too, and like you had everything filled out before the presidential selection. (Poop on Florida for passing Amendment 2, by the way). Anyway, this is a really cool ad...glad you posted it MelDoug!
