Ok, two different ads I’ve seen on television today have used the same Garage Band loops that I used to make the lizard/moth segment of the Nature Footage sketch. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then you’d best see Barnyard Jamboree. Mark your calendars for 12/10 and/or 12/17)
One of them is for the Chubb Institute, one of New York’s fine trade schools.
The other is for Mike Bloomberg’s mayoral campaign. His $65+ million mayoral campaign which culminates in the elections tomorrow.
Now, these are free-to-use, no-royalties loops, so neither Chubb, nor Bloomsy, nor Apple, nor I have infringed upon each other, so no harm done. But it still makes me happy to know that, somewhere inside that bloated campaign budget is a couple thousand bucks that some Mac geek got paid for the 5 minutes of work it took to score that campaign ad. I hope he or she didn’t tell anybody how easy it was.

Nate, we paid you thousands of dollars to do that loop, you said it took six months because of the studio orchestra's incongruous rehearsal schedule.

Actual text of the ad:
"I'm mayor Mike Bloomburg. My administration will continue to churn out tasty chocoloate morsels called Bloombites. They are bite-sized ooey-gooey fudge cubes with an irresistable soft brownie center. Vote for me on Tuesday, November 7."
Now THAT'S what I call good governance.

You're right nailllls, a peanut butter/brownie center would be great, but I think they'd have trouble keeping it from crumbling--it'd be morsel-center overload!
