Holy Shit, Biden is Carpet Bombing the Airwaves!!

Haven’t seen a single Trump ad. In the last 2 hours I’ve seen Half a dozen AWESOME Biden ads. He’s not Fucking around. And I’m watching FXX and Cartoon Network, not a news channel. These are running national, not local.

I don't know if that was via the network, or aired locally. Either way, I enjoyed seeing it.

King of the Hill is classic.

Pretty much watch it every night before turning over to King of Queens and then crashing (don't judge).

American Dad! and Rick & Morty are both back-to-back. It used to be American Dad - then an hour of Bob's Burgers, which I love, then Rick & Morty. But then they moved Rick & Morty to an hour and Bob's Burgers to before American Dad! and I'm not in bed at that point yet.

I'm rambling now.

Bob's Burgers and American Dad are classics though.

King of Queens, another rerun classic. Never watched Seinfeld or King of Queens on first runs. Seinfeld due to always playing ball on Thursday nights, not sure why I missed KOG on the first runs. Have made up for it by catching the reruns multiple times.

This reminds me of when I was watching the Cartoon Network and there was an ad for an upcoming Fleetwood Mac concert. I thought, why would they advertise a rock concert on the Cartoon Network?

Then, I remembered the middle-aged stoners watching "Cow and Chicken."

I wonder if that is Biden's target audience.

In Indiana we won't see many Biden ads. But I always say, "Nobody expected Obama to win Indiana in 2008 and he did! "

campaign was going dark from the convention til mid-Sept. to save money for the fall...If true, that's a gamma-ray-burst signal that they're running low on $$$fuel.

On edit--I did find that the campaign and Drumpf's superPAC had stopped running ads in UP Michigan b/c their polling numbers were looking too bleak. A sweet surrender.

that over-the-top fireworks display and other aspects of the convention.

The other reason was also to retool their ad strategy since it wasn't working.

Seeing that North Carolina are sending out their mail ballots in a few days, I hope they are targetting there.

Targeted ads aren’t just online, they’re on TV
Molly Wood
Feb 19, 2019

By now, if we’re doing our job right, you should kind of get how digital advertising works. Companies collect information about you — like where you live and your age and what you buy online and what websites you visit and much more — and they use that information to target you with ads they think you will like, so you’ll buy their stuff. But you may not know that this is also happening on television. It’s called addressable advertising, and it means your cable or satellite TV provider is showing you ads on your TV that your neighbor might not see. Right now only a small number of the ads you see are targeted ads, but it’s evolving fast, because the money is good. Molly Wood talks about it with Tim Peterson, a senior reporter at Digiday.

It's possible it's targeted, but I'm not a swing voter and I'm in NJ. I think it's a national run. North Jersey at that, a region he's got locked down tight.
