Rick Scott Ad Parodies Say Yes to the Dress, Very Notion of Serious Political Advertising
Perhaps the only thing with less integrity on television than reality TV is political advertising. Both twist facts into overly dramatic fake drama, but one genre is meant for brain-dead entertainment and the other is meant to help shape the future of our democracy. So it’s a little ironic that…
