I am more surprised by the pseudo-"I clipped these letters out from some newspaper" style. All three letter blocks, aside from the first character of each row (and the dangling characters at the end)? That's a strange way to do it. Between such regularity and the obviously single source for the letters it looks fake to my eye.

I'm not sure they actually are in three-letter blocks, exactly-the image in the newspaper has a rather low resolution, but I think each single letter is slightly out of alignment with its fellows, though the larger disparities do seem to come at three-letter intervals. Maybe the Conservatives are trying to create a subliminal association between Ignatieff and ugly typography?

I wouldn't blame the guy that runs the attack ads, I would blame the guys that point fingers on him instead of running their own ads. I have a problem with people that have a lack of initiative and instead of building something prefer to ruin what others have built.

All in all political advertising is the single type of marketing we get to intrinsically see its results since we’ll rate it by voting. Some may say attack ads are bad or unfair but we often see the opposite.
