I think Pennsylvania folks, and Pittsburgers especially, will get it pretty quickly.

The original ad was with 'Mean' Joe Greene of the Steelers and both the ad and Mean Joe are iconic.

I knew almost immediately it was a play on that infamous
Coke ad, but have to agree it misses the mark.

Fortunately, it is a web only YT ad and not for broadcast TV.

And I doubt anyone under age ~45 or so knows the Coke ad.

I got it right away. I'd forgotten I remember that ad.

Possibly true. But if so, that is not the audience its aimed at.

Obama was in Pittsburgh with Fetterman this morning. We couldn't get there, but my daughter, SIL, and grandkids did. Awesome!

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s daughter suing Dr. Oz for breach of contract
Teaneck fundraising consultant says Oz campaign stole her fundraising list and then fired her

A New Jersey-based fundraising firm headed by the daughter of prominent Rabbi Shmuley Boteach filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday alleging that Dr. Mehmet Oz’s U.S. Senate campaign stole a list of predominately Jewish donors and then cheated them out of their commission.

Light Nation Media, LLC, and it’s head, Shterny Glick, claim that the Oz campaign signed a fundraising contract “with an ulterior motive” of accessing a large network of “established donors to political and other causes drawn from the American Jewish community” to help fund his bid for a United States Senate seat in Pennsylvania.

“It was no secret that plaintiff’s list of established donors to political and other causes was drawn almost exclusively from the American Jewish community. Such potential donors were well known for generously supporting political candidates sympathetic to Israel, and other issues dear to the Jewish community,” the lawsuit states.

In a filing with the U.S. District Court in New Jersey, the Teaneck firm claims that Oz and other entities backing his campaign have raised millions from the list, without paying the 5% commission they had agreed to in a December 2021 contract. The firm estimates the loss of commissions to be “hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

I repeat, I think that folks in Pennsylvania can identify what Fetterman is on about in that ad.

Unlike Dr. Oz.

Oz Made An Epic Pittsburgh Steelers Gaffe During Trump PA Rally
Oz told the crowd to talk to ten of their friends before the Steelers game on Sunday, but there is no Steelers game this week.

Oz knows so little and cares so little about the people of Western Pennsylvania that he had no idea that the Steelers aren’t playing this week.

What Oz actually told the people in attendance was to speak to ten of their friends next Sunday before the Steelers play the New Orleans Saints several days after the Senate election in Pennsylvania.

To those who are unfamiliar with Western Pennsylvania, Oz’s gaffe may seem small, but the Steelers are a religion in Western PA. Everybody, even non-fans, know when the team plays.

That's true. I'm not a football fan, even of the Steelers (heresy here), but I always have a good idea of what's going on with them.

I'm keeping my distance from the news still, at least for another day. But I did see on my notifications on my phone this morning that he had won. I wasn't really surprised, but, still, it's a relief.

Also, Shapiro won. Same thing, and also expected.

I had the TV on yesterday in the background, but only Netflix, Prime, Hulu. They were running a few ads for some republican here on Hulu, even after the polls closed. :notlistening:

They say the same things about Democrats destroying Pennsylvania that we say about Republicans burning down democracy.

They call Fetterman brain damaged or worse. Wait ‘til they have a stroke.
