What do Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi have in common? Yep, pretty much nothing. Nevertheless, Al Gore has the answer...global warming. Al Gore will never stop this campaign. He has won a Nobel Prize and an Academy Award for his thoughts on “global warming”, but now he is taking it to the small screen.
Gore just spent $300 million on commercials and other advertising. That is a lot of money to spend for ads. The campaign for 'Just Say No To Drugs' does not compare to this one. Call me crazy, but the money could have been used for other means.
Going “green” costs a lot of money. Its cheaper to throw something away than recycle it. Unlike millionaires such as Gore not everyone can afford going green for everything. Gore should have used that little chunk of change and donated it to a good cause, not an advertising agency. According to the Washington Post, this is one of the most expensive advocacy campaigns ever.
His ads will appear on networks and cable television starting Wednesday. Do not try and run away from the ads, you will see them during many popular shows such as American Idol and Jon Stewart. Gore does not stop with television shows; he is using every possible source he can. Girl Scouts and Al Sharpton are also on board.
