I read this about this post that was on a FB post:

https://animoto.com/play/pYS28KmOGAa47oyP0UnpxA

It may have been created on a slower Internet connection, making it go much quicker on faster connections??

[Skidmore]

1. Wow! That's how you do it.

Gutted him. I'm gonna put that on my FB page to help it along and I don't even live in KY.

[Fred Sanders]

2. Tea bags got angry, for all the wrong reasons and came out to vote in 2010...We need to get folks

as angry in 2014, for all the right reasons.

Being champions of reason, facts and science, voters like minded should be outraged at the fairy tales, lies and smears of the rudderless and policy free GOP and kin.

Be mad, then vote them out in anger.

[PCIntern]

3. Tee-riffic! k and r! nt

[sheshe2]

4. That was brilliant!

Go Kentucky!

[2naSalit]

5. Good one! K&R

[LuvLoogie]

6. Production sucks

Slides go by too fast
Preaches to the choir
Juvenile turtle mockery

[rhett o rick]

7. You can't be series? nm

[LuvLoogie]

17. Totally serial...

Heart's in the right place, but info goes by too fast to have any initial or lasting impact. Too many slides. I started to zero in on how annoying the dramatic music became.

You've got to patiently tee them up with their own words, then wack them with their deeds.

[pangaia]

19. I agree.. Way too fast to read anything.

I just gave up half way through.

[Greybnk48]

24. Won't that make you want to see it again?

To catch what you missed? Just a thought.

[pangaia]

25. Nope.

[titaniumsalute]

66. I agree 100%

I gave up about one minute in. Poor production...

[paleotn]

8. You're 1 for 3....

...On #3, juvenile possibly, but you have to admit their is a striking resemblance. On #2, I don't believe so. It gives anyone in KY an interesting view of scum sucker's record. Facts that are hard to ignore and may sway those still debating who to vote for. On #1, I agree with you.

[LuvLoogie]

22. If you agree with #1, that the slides go by too fast...

who but the choir would glean the message? It's red meat for sure.

[NewJeffCT]

28. that's the key for mid terms, though

get the base riled up so they turn out

[JDPriestly]

43. Slides go by too fast.

But otherwise good. The point now is to get your supporters to get out and vote.

So preaching to the choire is fine.

Black lung is not a juvenile topic. It is serious business.

Turtle mockery -- needed at this point. This guy just tucks his head inside his collar and ignores the needs of the nation and of Kentucky.

[rainy]

48. the slides go by way too fast to sink in effectively before moving on to the next point.

I missed a few.

[Tommymac]

53. Despicably brilliant. Actually, just about right speed for subliminal understanding.

And the music distracts just enough.

Great Internet ad. These are not meant to be totally read - it is the fast imagery that draws the watchers subconscious out. Constant repetition of the main theme reinforced by flashing images.

[LuvLoogie]

54. Do you stare at goats?

[TheKentuckian]

57. Preaching to the choir is mission critical. This is a midterm, you got to get your's to the polls

Getting the congregation to the church is the game. If the people that claim not to be able to stand McConnell show up then he is out.

[WillyT]

9. K & R !!!

[Phlem]

10. It's not showing for me.

Is there another linky.

[leftieNanner]

13. I clicked the link once

and it didn't open for me. So just to prove myself wrong, I clicked it a second time and it opened. Don't know why.

[Phlem]

18. hmm. It's probably some stupid setting on my end. But just to check,

Have you ever experienced clicking on a link with 150 plus reply's only to open up html code cause that's happening to me. Maybe I should uninstall and re-install Chrome.

[leftieNanner]

41. Yep.

Sometimes I right click it and open it in another window. I used to blame it on my 12 year old computer.... Can't do that now. It finally died.

[Capt.Rocky300]

11. Can some of you good Kentucky folks tell me...........

if Grimes is hitting McConnell on this stuff in her campaign ads?

[blackspade]

62. Not really.

Trying to run to McConnell's right on immigration, guns, and the 'war on coal.'

[Capt.Rocky300]

63. Wow, I didn't know there was any room......

to run to the right of McConnell. Especially by a Dem. Thanks for answering my question.

[kentuck]

64. She is not running to the right of McConnell...

That's simply not true.

[Capt.Rocky300]

65. Now you guys are confusing this.......

guy from the Pacific Northwest.

[blackspade]

67. Have you seen her last couple of ads?

Here is one:

http://m.

Or her new one attacking McConnell for being soft on immigration?

Mitch has got to go, but don't deceive yourself by thinking that Grimes is anything but a DINO.

[cadaverdog]

12. Fewer graphics (many are repetitive) and more time on each of the remaining.

Not everyone is a speed reader. The trap in creating this type of message is you fall in love with everything and try to stuff it all in. The same rule applies in writing and film: edit, edit, edit. Think I'm wrong? Show this to someone just one time and ask them how many reasons they can remember why turtle is a bad guy. And please don't tell me people will press stop-play to read each message.

Could have been great. Now it's just pretty good. I hope they do more of them.

Curmudgeon

[ballyhoo]

14. I agree. You know, I dislike Mitch intensely but

I couldn't make heads or tails out of this video because it was going too fast to read. The irritation with the ad is not enough to make me like MM but it did leave me kind of dazed enough that I couldn't remember anything it said. Glad I don't live in Kentucky. Can you imagine a person with normal or slow to normal reading speed reading this ad?

[mobeau69]

16. Correct!

When it comes to spots like this, less is always more. There's way too much information for one ad.

[kentuck]

31. Why do you think it has gone viral?

If indeed, that is the case?

[leftieNanner]

15. Mitch is one of the Senators to go DOWN!

(hope...hope....hope). But I agree that the slides go too fast. Can't read and savor the details.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

20. It's great but it went too fast for me to keep up

I might watch it later and pause it a few times so I can comprehend everything. I think it's a blockbuster, or should I say turtle torcher!

[SmittynMo]

36. I agree on the speed. That is easily fixed

BTW: Turtle torcher? - How's about some turtle soup? Anyone? Anyone?

[greiner3]

21. Usually I can read screen text 2-3 times in the time it's on screen;

But I could only get the first or second sentence on some of those and had to freeze the video to get all the info.

It would have been much too long if they had waited the usual length of time but seriously....

[Voice for Peace]

23. That's outstanding, except it moved too fast for me.

I had to keep pausing it to read the facts. "Despicable Mitch"
I love the folks with the signs, and the sound track too.

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. Well, the turtle is running scared, isn't he?

[Voice for Peace]

30. not that quickly though.. but if I were he I would be very very uneasy

Not only about getting re-elected, but about my immortal soul

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. Good video

[sendero]

29. This is what Dems should be doing..

... 24/7 because it is easy as pie, but they don't. As for viral, I saw 99 Facebook likes, that is not viral.

[L0oniX]

52. Centrist Dems are gutless. That's why they are centrists ...it's safe.

[LoisB]

32. That is one great political ad.

[kentuck]

33. Something to consider...

The Internet connections in Kentucky are very slow. The computer you are on probably goes much quicker than anything in Kentucky? This has been a problem for several years. Hopefully, they will get faster Internet before too long?

[SmittynMo]

37. I'll bet you McConnel has something to do with this?

Something about creating new jobs. Not in my state.

[SmittynMo]

34. The truth hurts, eh?

We need to take this guy down, big time. I'm sure we can come up with more stuff too. And I agree, we need more of this in other states. Florida and Wisconsin are a good place to start.

On edit: Add Texas too.

[jen63]

49. Ohio also.

Talk about apathy here! Kasich is going to run away with another term. I don't see any political action here at all. He has a huge margin over his opponent. It's disgusting.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

35. K&R

perfect!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

44. I'm with the crowd who thinks slides moved too fast

But this one of Romney ironing clothing he's wearing is tooooo funny

[Jackpine Radical]

38. Too damn fast.

[ReRe]

39. K&R

I cannot wait to vote for Alison and help kick the old turtle out!

[littlemissmartypants]

40. Well done!

Not to seem under stated, but he is a bad man and I see little hope in his future.

[Mister Nightowl]

42. Yeah, but Grimes really did screw herself

Her dodge on "Did you vote for Obama?" has, imho, handed another term to the Tortoise.

[kentuck]

45. It will be interesting to see the next "legitimate" poll...

I don't think she has hurt herself much at all. It was a set-up. If she had answered the way Mitch and the Repubs had expected her to answer, it would have been much more damaging, in my opinion.

The voters of Kentucky are pretty savvy once they've had time to analyze the situation. They know she did not vote for Mitt Romney or John McCain. Mitch McConnell knew that also. The reporters from the Courier-Journal knew it also. They knew she voted for the Democrat over those two Bozos. So why did they ask her the question? They tried to trap her and she is just too damn smart for them.

[Mister Nightowl]

46. I spent my first 18 years as a Kentuckian

And I'd love to see Grimes win. But if there's one thing I remember about Bluegrassers, it's this: They're used to politicians lying to them, but are decidedly insulted when a politician lies to them stupidly.

I hope the hell I'm wrong about this!

[Kalidurga]

47. Did I miss something?

I don't recall Ms. Grimes telling any lies.

[ctsnowman]

50. Excellent!

[Gothmog]

51. That was great

WOW. That was well done.

[cui bono]

55. Despicable Mitch!

Yes, the slides go by way too fast. I had to pause to read them.

And FYI, no, connection speed has nothing to do with that. That's simply how the video was made. A lot of times people forget how long it takes to read something and process it because their mind knows exactly what it says. It's a shame it got put out like this.

[TheKentuckian]

56. Goes too quick but I have seen a similar version that focuses on fewer things so

the messages can be digested.

There is an important balance between showing a putrid litany and clarity of message that has to reached with this kind of thing.

[leeroysphitz]

58. Sadly the people we really need to reach, in KY, this election can't read that fast...

if at all.

[kentuck]

59. You might be surprised?

There are things going on in Kentucky that a lot of folks are missing right now.

[leeroysphitz]

60. Maybe. But I talk to my FIL in London, KY once in a while and I'm not filled with hope. n/t

[blackspade]

61. Good add, but the slides are way to fast.

It's hard to read.
