Hugh Jidette for President
Clever commercials at the Super Bowl are as common as a JCPenney ”One Day Only Sale.” Outside of Super Bowl, however, few campaigns emerge that make me do a double take. Last week, a TV ad promoting Hugh Jidette for President made me do just that. Before you read any more, check out the ad for yourself below:
The cleverness of this ad campaign is multi-faceted. I didn’t pay much attention the first time I watched it. Just thought it was an eager candidate wanting to get his name out for 2012. By the end of the commercial, I rewound the DVR, laughed, and then decided to write about it. I’m excited to see how far this campaign is pressed forward.
Term Recap
Just over three months ago, I started my first term at Washington and Lee University. I knew college would be great, but I never imagined the time there flying by so quickly. Since I’ve been at W&L, I’ve made great friends, learned how manage an eightTEEN-hour day, and found my interests to be constantly expanding.
My classes were challenging, and I’m happy to have taken what I did. Nevertheless, for all the hours that I labored, I’ve managed to condense my classes to one line apiece.
American Government: James Madison Rules America
Microeconomics: MR = MC
Writing: Destroy passive voice
Calculus: I am never becoming a mathematician
Merry Christmas, everyone!
