AARP Using “The Donklephant” In Ads?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Media

That’s a screen capture from a new AARP commercial. Notice anything familiar?

But if they could vote, these “Future Champions” would vote for the candidate who will fix health care, protect Social Security and pensions. “Too Young” and “Too Important” (Windows Media Player required), the latest spots in AARPÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s “Future Champions” campaign, are the first to specifically promote Divided We Fail by asking viewers to demand action and answers on health care and financial security at DividedWeFail.org.

Interesting, no? Think they owe us some cred?

It certainly would be nice…

Looks like a perfectly good logo to me! I’d thank them and pull a redesign!
