Is it positive or negative? Maybe this should be included in a textbook as an example of how NOT to run a successful political advertising campaign. But again, the question must be asked: Which side should not run such an ad? Should the side attempting to attack the candidate not run the ad, or should the side promoting the candidate refrain from disseminating such propaganda?

What signals is it meant to convey to the questioning, always intellectually curious electorate? Does it challenge the viewer to re-examine his or her outlook on the world? Or is it, as some in the aristocracy might argue, merely bread and circuses, to be consumed by the teeming masses of dumbed down proletariat lemmings? Is the work intended as a detached ironic statement, or a heartfelt plea for greater resolve in the face of overwhelming despondency?
