ABEC ads in Ohio 2

Listen
Play a creepy coal ad, by ABEC

Speaking of fossil shenanigans, check out the blitz of advertising coal front group ABEC is running in Ohio in advance of the presidential primary there. I've been trying to pick the creepiest one, but's pretty tough. I think the two winners are the audio ad to your right and the print ad below the fold:

    Thank you for spottingThis is probably related to the efforts by hypocritical Duke Energy (part of ABEC) to weaken the already compromised Lieberman-Warner legislation.  
    Double-Dribbling Duke CEO Jim Rogers said he was going to take his case to the presidential contenders going into the Ohio primary.

    Dummy DownThese ads are more cerebral than the Walker/Cat ads that run in the Kentucky W.Va. Markets.
    They use cartoon bugs in this demographic area.

    I don't know if they do some kind of cognitive survey before they produce a spot or just do observations in a local WalMart to get a feel of how to approach their target audience.

    The eons of time and nature was good to us down here. It was not until we become civilized that destroying our habitat become fathomable or fashionable.
