i don't know what the heck is going on inside the playful and adventurous minds of the 2010 hopefuls but, for crying out loud, should they not spare viewers with their colossal and egotistic personal aggrandizement? i know, i know. the advent of corporate media gave these "statesmen-who-think-only-of-the-welfare-of-the-people" the perfect avenue to further their celebrity. virtual unknown are slowly surfacing just by playing a 30-50 second TV ad. need i list them down who they are?
my biggest qualm is not because of the motive (of course, everyone knows what these ads are for, only a 3 years old kid would not have an inkling) but of the means. the subtle injection of political message which doesn't take a genius to decipher is so utterly shameful. well, i concede that this is a very good strategy to get yourself familiar to the public outside the official campaign period without violating any election law (as far as i am concerned). but instead of devising ways to popularize oneself, why not use the obvious creativity and innovativeness to create palatable platforms and programs, surely if they could circumvent the electoral practice of the traditional past, platform-making is just a walk in the park. wouldn't you agree?
