backdoor political advertising | So I'm watching TV, and notice this ad for T-Mobile, where they repeat the name Jim McDermott at least 3 times. Now they don't say anything positive or negative about the real Jim, but it seems an impossibly improbable coincidence that an ad running in the seattle area, by a company headquartered here, just happens to mention the name of their representative, while he's running for re-election. | 2006-10-26 |
