We Got a SUPERBOWL AD?

[Drknows]

Take the 20 million and buy a whole 5 min time slot to promote the grassroots video. NEW HOPE.

jk or am i.

It better be better than their previous ads.

It has to be a million times better than their previous ads. Super Bowl ads are part of the show.

Regarding number 3, some people watch the Super Bowl solely for the commercials

+1

 

[Mental Dribble]

I doubt it. It would be a stupid move to advertise during the SuperBowl.

#1 ) Cost. Why pay millions to probably convince 2 people?
#2 ) People are stupid. They need more than a 30-second commercial.
#3 ) A lot of people skip commercials.
#4 ) This would go against his conservatism and would make him look like a big spender.

Uh, so... Don't believe what you read on the internet. If they had a SuperBowl ad it would probably be mentioned on their site.

I dont know if its a good use of money or not but your way off base on all 4 of these

1) You would reach and speak to many many more than just 2 people
2) Commercials are part of a entire strategy and they do their job well
3) People dont skip SuperBowl Commercials. There is a whole group of people who watch JUST for the incredible epics of advertising
4) Spending big bucks on his campaign is completely different then spending big bucks out of the pockets of the american tax payers.

The only SuperBowl I would put in there would be this, modified to be a Ron Paul ad.

A one-minute ad would probably cost about $6 million though. Lots of money. Could win millions of votes though.

If this isn't confirmed - which it sounds like it isn't... who says we can't put one on? Who knows, maybe we'll end up with 2 ads in the superbowl. How much does one seriously cost? You'd also need to have an awesome backup plan if not enough was raised. Maybe I should just check into a mental hospital.

or maybe jump on this?

What would be great is a sort of illustrated version of blowback. With dollars printed by the federal reserve (represented like some sort of polluting factory) or coming out people's pockets going to a bunch of countries and then have them using our money like weapons against each other, then have U.S. troops, again using money as weapons going after those same countries than using our money against our guys. All of the while you see the federal reserve still pumping out money and it starts flooding the country.

Something in that direction would be very catching and simplify his message to a great degree.

I don't believe this for a second. YOu were hearing a joke or voiced in your head.

That gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.

The secret plan: Announce a Superbowl ad. Watch as competitors all waste a bunch of money making their own Superbowl ads. Pull ad at the last moment and laugh at everyone else.

I think the other commercial he made is better:

this has the potential to be either an enormous success or a stupendous failure.

I say, Go for broke.

That might just work, but surprising everyone with one at the game would be better.

That would be hilarious.

 

[Brad324]

on a related note, we seriously need to rickroll the next fox news debate. No-one gets to watch the debate. Just Rick Astley singing the same song over and over.

I hope there is a wardrobe malfunction!

both are good. however that one doesnt touch on some key issues. like getting rid of the irs (it says less taxes but everyone says that) and war in iraq and sound monetary policy

 

[davidhperry]

The Rick Roll should be the ad.

Agreed.

There are a lot of videos out there that I absolutely love, but this one has the punch and the simple message needed for a Superbowl ad. (My opinion - Your mileage may vary.)
