Three Ads

Andrew Sullivan, of The Atlantic, embedded this video in his blog earlier today. A comedy group, called The Landline, made the short film.

Here is the premise: Sen. McCain, down in the polls, recruits three Hollywood directors -- John Woo, Kevin Smith, and Wes Anderson -- to make ads for his campaign. I agree with Sullivan's assessment of them: "John Woo (meh), Kevin Smith (decent), and Wes Anderson (brilliant)."

Enjoy.
