This was an ad poster parody I did for class it would be nice to see these people corporeal, but I know they are dead. My Idea about this is that the people are going to rip other people off.
However Joe my professor thought it important to subvert advertising with a product no one would buy. This does subvert advertising with a product no one would buy but it's because no one would believe it.

buiding painter, 20th&Lombard (?) + pigeon, Pbiladelphia, PA, manipulated
(RPI) – The original Swift Boat Veterans for Truth may have faded from the national discourse, but if the election of 2004 taught political operatives and advertising execs anything it’s that the hearty souls who patrolled the Mekong Delta and their boats are marketing money in the bank.
“Look, swift boats are just balls-out f@#ing cool,” says Randy Spearman, Creative Director at OmniCom. “When you see Lance water skiing and Larry Fishbourne rocking out on the deck to ‘I Can’t Get No Satisfaction’ in Apocalypse Now – I don’t know about you, but I get a veritable swift boat woodie everytime I see it.”
Following the same game plan for its wildly successful Hummer, AM General plans to roll out a line of commercially available swift boats in the summer of 2007. The boats will come equipped with two front deck .51 mm caliber machine guns and a .51 mm machine gun/grenade launcher combo on the rear deck..
“Who’d want to tool around in a Bayliner or a Sea-Ray when you can terrorize the back bays and quiet, lazy rivers with this baby?” asks, Greg Vandeerman, Sr. VP of Marketing.
But swift boat veterans are still being used to promote political agendas. A group calling itself “Swift Boat Veterans for Increased Television Viewership” is currently running full page ads in Newsweek, Teen People, and the Journal of the American Library Association warning of the tremendous dangers of reading books under the Patriot Act and advocating television as a safe, reasonable alternative. No surprises here - funding for the group is coming from the broadcast industry.
In a related story, rumors are afloat that a group calling itself "Hanoi Hilton POWs Against McCain" is already aggressively fundraising ahead of the 2008 Republican primaries. Their goal? To pull the same type of ad hominem attack ad magic against the popular Arizona Senator, who according to “The Angry Middle”, a political think tank in Philadelphia, PA, is “the no-brainer 2008 Republican nominee if things like character, experience and ability actually mattered anymore on the national scene.”
Although the group has kept its plans closely guarded, the North Falls, SD, Pennypincher reports the ads will paint a very different picture of McCain’s time spent as a POW, leaving viewers with the meme that McCain was actually a collaborator with the North Vietnamese. Tentative storyboards for the spot call for shots of McCain luxuriating in the Hanoi Hilton "health spa" receiving massages and facials, laughing it up over a friendly game of Backgammon with an NVA general, and watching football in a comfy recliner while sipping a Pabst.

photo of Buick ad in Forbes which featured an actual pocket and libary card, manipulated. I don't know if the campaign is going to do anything, but I definitely did pull the library card out to see what it was about.
To the vets out there, I have the upmost respect for anyone who's worn a uniform and put their ass on the line (unless we're talking about the Lindsay England's of the world).
I just remember when the swift boat ads came out, I felt sad that a group of probably good, decent people who served their country could be used in a campaign that when you get right down to it came down to a bunch of political schemers getting vets to turn against one of their own brethern.
Maybe that's naive and simplistic, but that's how I see it.
Poltics is so dirty right now, I don't think it's impossible that a variation on the above could be tried on McCain.
Max Cleeland lost his Georgia Senate seat in large part because his opponent managed to paint him as unpatriotic, despite the fact that he lost 3 limbs in combat in Vietnam.
