'Sopranos' does pretty well on election map
Venables Bell & Partners created this election-themed ad touting Tuesday's release of the complete-series DVD set of HBO's The Sopranos. On the map, Obama and McCain are represented by blue and red. They haven't won a state, but the show, represented by black, has run the board. Maybe the agency should have gone with some other color—any other color—to brighten things up. How about plaid? Gangsters like plaid, right? Look, there was no reason to attempt a Sopranos election tie-in. It was more of a stretch than Ralph Nader's third-party candidacy. |

I agree, the black is dreary and its not a clever or relevant idea.

Very disappointing from some very smart people over at Veneables and Bell

VandB has seen much better days, if ever. If no one ever looked ad the legend, one would think it was a kitchy ad for Obama supporters. What does a sopranos DVD series have to do with the current election and a visual of that election, nothing. Bad parody ad.

Totally relevant. The mafia runs the country, regardless of your vote.
