It is the time of year for those horribly annoying political ads. I detest them. Do they really influence anyone's opinion?
They do, however, create awareness to those viewing them...even when those viewing are 2, 5, and 7 years old. My children do know the names Barack Obama, John McCain, and Sarah Palin. They do not recognize the name Joe Biden. I have tried to teach the little ones a bit about choosing a president, voting, etc.
A few weeks ago Gustavo (5) heard me say the name Barack Obama. He shouted out "Barack Obama - I know him! He is brown just like me!" After picking my jaw up off the floor (and stifling hysterical laughter) I asked Gustavo how he knew who Barack Obama was. He replied, "the tv". Aha, advertising/marketing dollars hard at work.
In the video below you will observe that Gustavo also knows Sarah Palin and John McCain. He swiped my reading glasses (yes, I am old) off the island and began singing "I'm Sarah Palin! I'm Sarah Palin! I'm Sarah Palin!" I swear, the boy keeps us in stitches around here.
I decided to video our own political ad. If you need translation Gustavo is saying:
"I'm Sarah Palin, I'm Sarah Palin, vote for me! And John McCains too!"
