Explaine to me what the deal is with the wolves in shrubs new ad?

[napi21]

I always thought I was pretty perceptive, but I saw this new ad with the wolves roaming through the forest, and I just do't get it. What's the message supposed to be???

[phantom power]

1. fear. An appeal directly to the brain-stem.

[friesianrider]

2. I thought the exact same thing...

The whoring media was raving abut how focus groups thought it was so amazing and powerful...

I thought it was confusing, off-topic, and vague; I truly don't think it'll be effective.

3. Wild animals are a dangerous menace,

And John Kerry will do nothing to protect America from them.

17. So is b*sh 'little red riding hood'

and sh*tting his britches? The 'wolves' want to 'consume' our foreign policy.. isn't the figurehead of such policy *?

What's he so scared of?

What's really interesting, however, is that wolves are benevolent, highly social animals. They kill almost instantly, and do not kill for 'sport' only for survival.

4. there's SCARY wolfies in the woods who will....

EAT US UP!!!!! :scared:

20. From people who evidently know nothing about wolves.

5. Maybe they're trying to prove a wolf-Al Qaedia link

[Free2BMe]

6. They are likening it to a successful 1984 Reagan ad..didn't like him

either.

7. It's a reprise

of Reagan's old "bear in the woods" campaign:

8. I saw on here that Kerry either should .. or .. has bush as an ostrich

[napi21]

9. Well, I don't feel so bad. It looks like not many others know what it

means either! I even went back to watch the "bear in the woods" ad. At least that one had a BEAR, which if I remember correctly, was the symbol of the Soviet Union, that was a real threat back then.

I'm sure there's lots of people who see this ad won't see a connection between wolves and ANYTHING!

[PNsC]

22. I didn't get it either.

Maybe it's an age thing?

[Lisa]

10. most Americans don't see wolves as a threat!

More than 20 years of environmental education about wolves being part of natural ecosystems, plus the fact that relatively few people now live way out in the country with livestock to worry about, have sure changed attitudes. I think it's hilarious that so many people have been puzzled rather than scared by the ad.

Perhaps it might strike a chord with some of the "red state" ranchers who want wolves exterminated, but this isn't the 19th century any more.

11. Just Cheney et al

crying wolf again.....simply Selling wolf tickets to the simple minded or easily frightened.

[Richard D]

12. Who's afraid of the big bad wolf??

There, had to say it. Apologies.

[BeFree]

18. Who? Sheeple

Was it a warning?

[annabanana]

13. According to Majority Report,( AAR)..they showed this thing

on Crossfire, saying that it had "tested so well that they held it to release closer to the election" Then they showed it, and the audience LAUGHED when the wolves came on. The repug was left with egg on his face. (not tucker, some sub)

[Vickers]

14. I reckon Bush* is scared of wolves, too

You know, they ain't as big as a horse, but they got some big-ass teeth!

:spank:

[DrWeird]

15. Muslims are animals.

Hunt them to extinction.

Your standard Bush message.

[sweetheart]

16. Their strategy is to energize the base, not YOU

Their base of rural places, has the livestock protection meme
built in, as mentioned earlier. They think they can win this
election by simply getting their base out.

Remember "sheep in wolf's clothing." and all that. Kerry and the
dems are going after swing voters. The pukes believe they don't
need the swing vote, and need only turn out their brownshirts.

[Cat Atomic]

19. It's a metaphor. Bush, Cheney, and Rove are the 3 little pigs.

And the tersts will huff and they'll puff and they'll blow your ass up if you vote for John Kerry. I think that's the message. :P

[pandorasox]

21. Wolves were Hitler's favorites animals

Indeed, his nickname was "Wolf". How obvious does Bush have to get?

a bit of a change. Trying to ditch the Chimpie label, ya know.
