MSNBC Selects Unfortunate Product Placement

Filed Under: Advertising, Political Satire

While streaming Barack Obama’s speech about race last week, MSNBC.com also, of course, ran some advertising; however, it may not have been the wisest choice of product placement.

Check it out:

Oh no, they di-in’t! Other inappropriate presidential hopeful cookies include:

Ron Paul for Nutter Butter: Rich, but nutty through and through

johnmccain-dinosaur.jpg

John McCain for Dinosaur Grrrahams

hillaryclinton-biscotti.jpg

Hillary Clinton for Ferrara Biscotti: A tough, blonde cookie that’s hard for some people to digest

John Edwards for Ritz Crackers

Any other ideas? Do tell!

    I saw an ad for FUDGE cookies on one of Hillary’s broadcasts. I forget the brand, but I think they’re from Bosnia and are manufactured under heavy fire. hee hooo! : )

    nutter butter!! ha ha ha! i also saw a ron paul fruitcake.

  3. helltotheno says:

    and an obama chocolate easter bunny. looks good and tempting on the outside, but full of air on the inside.

  4. martini lover says:

    this is great. john mccain is like those old people cookies that my grandma used to serve-white powder with jelly on the inside.

  5. MMB says:

    John Edwards is sexy. I’d eat his cookie…what? Did I say that? He rather looks like my boyfriend, who is also a politician. I think many of them start to look alike…slick, suited, with that hair…

    hahahaha dinosaur grahams. john mcCain smiles like a dinosaur, his teeth are scary.

  7. CPTWilly says:

    Ha ha ha. On target for each one. Good fun Candy.

    I miss dinosaur grahams! They were so delicious (at least to my kindergarten self)

  9. Demon kitty says:

    I am so motherfucking sick of the American election.

  10. It's British Bitch says:

    My product placement choices are:

    Edwards for Sunshine Cheez-Its
    Clinton for Snackwells - i.e. promises much and doesn’t deliver
    Obama for Teddy Grahams - he just looks soooo cuddlesome and adorable

    Slightly off-topic: Larry Craig for Fudge Shoppe (low ball I know, but I loathe and detest that man) and Bill Clinton for Wheat Thins - they go great with spinich dip.

  11. It's British Bitch says:

    14: Snicker, good one. I believe the Bosnian fudge cookies are called “Pretrazivaca”. I am expecting to be under fire myself shortly seeing as I just copied and pasted from a random Bosnian web site with no clue what that means. Or perhaps Bosnians are a little more chill than your pals from the land of Abba were the other day?

    Candy: This is premium, really cheered me up after getting home late on a Friday from work

  12. martini lover says:

    barack obama is cookie dough-has potential, but needs more a lot time in the oven before i’m willing to digest it. and if we eat it now, it might taste good at first but will leave us feeling sick because it was premature to embrace it.

    i think huckabee is a cheese doodle, full of cheese and bad for our health.

  13. It's British Bitch says:

    Martini Lover: Good call on the cookie dough analogy! I thought Huckabee was a health nazi though? Therefore I think he’d be one of those hideous “protein bars” that are actually chock full of sugar and taste revolting. No doubt his rockin’ band “Capitol Offense” could run off a few good jingles for adverts showcasing both the products and his “wholesome” family values. *dry retches*.

    You peeps is funny! Really.

    Damn if that Keebler Elf, McCain, ain’t gonna take the cake…

    …and leave us all w/ nuttin’ but a few Ding Dongs and Zingers.
