AI Thread Summary
The discussion critiques a political commercial by Fred Thompson, expressing disappointment in its approach. The commercial, which responds to filmmaker Michael Moore, is perceived as unpresidential and detracting from Thompson's image. The critique emphasizes that engaging with Moore's provocations may have backfired, leaving viewers with a negative impression of Thompson. The sentiment is that he should have ignored the controversy instead of participating in it, as the commercial fails to convey the strength expected from a presidential candidate. The suggestion is made that a more impactful presentation could have enhanced his image.

I thought it might be interesting to critique political commercials.

This one by Thomson set me back a bit as a first exposure.

I would still be willing to vote Republican because I vote for the person and not the party, [and assuming that this was someone radically different from the rest of the R candidates] but IMO this shot from Thompson does not seem Presidential. He should have just ignored Moore and his nonsense.

I had absolutely no impression or knowledge of the man before seeing this, but immediately I found that my impression was negative because he chose to jump in the pig slop. This was probably supposed to make him look tough, but already I am left with the impression that he is not big enough for the job.

They totally screwed up this commercial. After he turned around it should have gone:

"DUN DUNNNNNNN"
