Twin Cities urged to be nice to Republicans
While all political eyes are now on the Democrats in Denver, the Twin Cities are getting ready for the Republican conclave next week in St. Paul. And Minneapolis agency Campbell Mithun is getting into the act with a campaign developed with Hungry Man Productions, and launched via the UnConvention Web site, that urges the locals in this traditionally Democratic state (or, more precisely, Democratic-Farmer-Labor state) to be gracious hosts. Republican delegates who check out the Web site's video and the posters may wonder how sincere the welcome is. But after the treatment their party is getting in Denver, anything short of open hostility may seem like a warm embrace. —Posted by Mark Dolliver |

Man. MN doesn't deserve either party's business. What kind of openly hypocritical garbage is this?

I think maybe it's a joke, or maybe irony. You know, like the kids do these days...

This Republican convention ad is more on target:

These are offensive, even if they're satirical. The suggestion in several is that homosexuality should be curbed in the interest of so-called proper behavior.
