Ack. No. The joke got run into the ground (and in far better ways) long before the election.

I personally haven't seen any other ad referring to Joe the Plumber

He wasnt in advertising so much as he was everywhere else. The media was having a field day with this: Jay Leno, for example, found it difficult to get through a single night without making at least one JTP joke. It was a tired piece of schtick, and to run this on Election Day wold put this looooong past its sell-through date.

Yo Seany-boy! This ad ran in Holland where people weren't flooded by JTP jokes. And it was a modest ad, not an expensive full-page one. Therefor I like it.

WRC Champions, is that a loosing team ? you must sure work for Ford !!!!...and please note, we judging campaigns not brands. Tks pal.

no, john mc cain was the losing team and joe the plumber rooted for him.

so you didn't understand my comment at all. no problem, I'll gladly help you, PAL. perhaps you work for ford?

(also: losing is spelled with one "o.")

He might have chosen for the losing presiident candidate, but he chose the right van. Don't be a sourpuss.

krautland's picture 3204 pencils

there is no indication that this is the right van. all this ad says is "loser chooses citroen."
