Just "a little Friday fun," according to a McCain aide. The campaign hopes it goes viral. The Obama folks on the trail here admit that the ad is amusing. But, says one, "we are basically running against the NRCC" -- (which is known for these type of personality-based media creations).

John McCain implies Obama is the anti-Christ as ABC’s Kate Snow reports. On the August 13 edition of "Good Morning America," Snow followed " Time " magazine’s cue, featuring a Democratic hack, Obama supporter Eric Sapp , finding the "anti-Christ" message in McCain’s " The One " ad. On a story on subliminal message in advertising, Snow did not feature McCain supporters responding to the ludicrous charge....

Today the McCain campaign continued to skewer Barack Obama for his pomposity and self-regard with a video called "The One." Here it is: It's amusing, and some people will think it's highly effective. I'm not so sure this line of attack is a good idea, however. People are catching on to Obama on their own. I think McCain is better served to let Jay Leno et al. mock Obama's empty-suit pretentiousness,...

In "McCain takes lead on YouTube hits" , Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times, in a feat as amazing as squeezing raindrops from a rock, concludes from the number of hits on McCain's YouTube channel that McCain has "figured out the younger generation just fine." Dinan's article echoes what's been chattered about on cable news coverage of McCain's "Celeb" ad--that the ad's YouTube popularity is allegedly...

From the comments: This is an atrocity. Obama is now Jesus, or Moses, or something else McCain is not. I was actually Laughing Out Loud at how stupid the ad was. Can I hear an OMFG?

McCain takes the risky approach of mocking our love for the other man: Sorry, John, I found myself smiling through all those images — and it was always pretty easy to pick up the humor and the missing context of all the various things Obama was saying. And as for that "10 Commandments" punchline... Althouse did it first . I feel like you owe me a link. But the important question is: Will ads like this...
