Elect Mike Weinstein – New Viral Video Phenom or Footloose Inspired Miss?
I came across this video from the Guyism site here, and I have to say, even though the video comes off as a ridiculous, (un)intended self-parody of the 80′s, I cannot get the stupid song out of my head and will have “Mike, Mike, Mike Weinstein” on the mind for awhile. Mission accomplished there as I thought I had moved on from Footloose…a long time ago.
So, is this an effective use of video for political campaigning purposes? I’d have to say a resounding yet irritated yes if the goal was to get Mike Weinstein’s name out there. However, if they were trying to make a middle-aged white guy seem cool with younger voters…negative on that Ghostrider.
Let me know what you think in the comments below or @kobrabai on Twitter…
