Louisiana's political advertising is more annoying and trashy than your state's political advertising

HA! A reader named Cole sent me a link to this video last night and it brought back so many memories. Memories like the "Titanic" ad Edwin Edwards used against Dave Treen, political candidate endorsements on the grocery bags at Schwegmann's, front yards littered with political signs...it's all so Louisiana, which is by its nature, ass-backwards, or, ahem, colorful.

I honestly had no idea that the sea of political signs was a southern thing. I don't mind them since I'm an artist and they make great work boards, and they're free for the asking after the election.

I also didn't realize that not every city council or insurance commission candidate ran tv ads. They do around here so I assumed it was normal.

I guess you can add 'educational' to your list of words commonly associated with CBITC.

is it me, or did dr. treuting, coroner, rip his logo off that of dr. pepper?

and where does the state insurance commissioner get more than $2 million dollars in tv money to campaign? this film looks like it was made in the 80s, so he probably has 3x more today. for the damned insurance commissioner??
