The impossibility of doing a spoof McCain ad like the one with Paris and Britney
First of all, you would have to do a LOT of audio embellishment in order for it to sound credible for a large crowd to be cheering "McCain" . Yes, it could be done with lots of layering, filters and other audio embellishments.

Secondly, what two movie stars still alive could be used as a comparison to Paris and Britney? Andy Williams and Bea Arthur? Jerry Lewis or Wayne Newton?

And speaking of music to use in the ad, would people understand Andy Williams or Wayne Newton music? Should the McCain campaign see if Pat Boone can so a theme song?

It's impossible.

2. Pat Boone in his leather jacket is an image that makes me laugh to recall it

Pat Boone and a chorus of a thousand crickets. :rofl:

3. Fortunately we don't need to...

...all we need to do is produce lots of videos on YouTube with Britney and McCain in the title and keywords. Then put what we want people to see about McCain in the video.

4. I was thinking about the same kind of ad, only my idea was to use
that picture of the McCain supporters snoozing in their chairs as the crowd. It's a shame I'm so technically challenged - wouldn't have a clue how to make an ad.

5. I think it should have McCain at a podium at the National Mall
speaking to one guy in a lawnchair.

8. You probably can't, BUT you COULD put one together with shots
of him huggung Shrub, sharing a Bday cake, his statement against Robertson & Falwell, back to back clips of arguing for & aganist his many flip-flops! There are hundreds of factual ads that could be complied to smack him down a lot harder than Paris & Britney did to Barack!

9. What about footage of that fraudulant banker and McCain donor Charles Keating?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Keating

They could show money floating down on crooked McCain. The Wikipedia article talks about a book describing the mess titled: "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One" (Professor William K. Black)

11. So parady with the truth
Use the audio from an actual rally where like three people are shouting "McCain".

Not impossible at all. USing the reality to parody the ad would put the absurdity of that piece of crap front and center.

13. One word of caution
Bloomberg news reported a few days ago that both camps agree this election will be won/lost by women 54 and older. I'm in my 60's. I don't want the fucking old fart as president BUT I wouldn't fool around with the "old" part because it would cause a backlash. For some reason a bunch of my generation love to go to Vegas and see Newton, etc. (jesus, I would rather go watch an embalming!). But that's the truth about them. You can do him with 3 people in the crowd; or the supermarket where he needed notecards to talk about eggs and everything on the shelf collapsed, etc. But stay away from "old" images, people and old music. You are still going to have an up hill climb getting the youth out---Obama was hot on the college campus LAST year and you know how kids hate something that is so "last year". Encourage the oldies or you definitely are going to be "hailing the new chief" McCain!! Got it???
