Repost: Wassup 2008

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, McCain, Video

Yet another brilliant user generated pro-Obama ad. This time it’s from the same guys who created those hilarious “Wassup!” ads for Budweiser back in 2000.

Obama has run a 21st century campaign and his supporters followed in kind. But McCain ran a 20th century campaign and he never inspired people to create ads like this. Sure, there were plenty of hacky videos on YouTube that tried to paint Obama as the anti-christ, but we never saw anything truly clever like the above come from his supporters.

By the way…here’s the original.

Great stuff.
