AdFreak: Fight climate change and flying oil barrels

Fight climate change and flying oil barrels

MMB, best known for its Subway spots with and without Jared Fogle, has crafted a push for the Environmental Defense Fund designed “to show that fighting climate change will not only save our planet, it will jump-start our economy as well.” More than George Bush’s $600 checks? Sounds like fuzzy math to me. The group wants to limit carbon emissions from big corporations, so we can assume they won’t be endorsing John McCain. In one spot, a guy talks about the great things the Climate Security Act could achieve as he is pounded into the ground by oil barrels attempting to stop him from talking. That’s like a recurring nightmare I have, but in my case it’s Hillary Clinton wielding the barrels. Another ad shows a man-shaped candle (in a business suit) melting because it wants to stall progress on climate change. Ultimately, only the mouth, still moving, remains. An apt metaphor for the entire political season. Maybe it’s Jared, not Hillary. I get them confused. UPDATE: The ad is back online. Here’s the link.
