First, the Post-Game Wrap-Up from yesterday's plea for clicks for the "Wink" ad.
In a word, amazing. Yesterday morning, the YouTube counter on the ad read just over 11,000. Today, it just passed 20. The shares and clicks you guys rounded up doubled the number of views. In a day. Jeez.
Money can't buy that kind of publicity. Well, it can, actually, but mine sure can't. Still, I wish there were some way I could repay your efforts.
Wait a minute. . .
A couple of weeks ago, I was whining about people throwing me suggestions for more ads. I tried to make my whining into some Knute Rockne speech, saying, "Hey, you can do it! Let's all do it!" And some of you have, quite well.
But now I realize I can do it, too, and in return for your help yesterday, I'm opening up the floor for suggestions for an ad of your choice.
Kind of. I mean, it's going to be my choice, too, since I'm going to do it, so here's what I have in mind:
I don't think we need to beat on Mitt any more right now. It's just too easy, and the regular media's enjoying it so much. It's time to start turning our attention to the harder work of winning back the House of Representatives and filibuster-proofing the Senate. So I'm looking for ideas for down-ticket races.
Who's a great candidate? Even more to my taste, who's a sitting 'Pub begging to be taken down a peg or two? And, since you guys living in the states that suffer from these creeps, what are the issues/events that can be exploited? I mean, I know Eric Cantor is a jerk--heck, the only reason I'm still on Facebook is to like the Eric Cantor is a Douchebag page--but what do the people of VA-07 hate about him, whatever their party?
So there's the score: give me a target that really needs whacking and a whiffle bat that fits, and I'll whack. Music, voiceover, video editing (links to video will help), the usual job. I may not get it done this week (trying to finish a music vid), but it will be up Real Soon.
Yeah, it's not much. But it might be fun.
And, since there's no catering in my diaries, it's the only In Lieu of Pay I've got.
