HOMEWOOD, IL — Out are the avocados and in are 1990's video game graphics as a way the village of Homewood tries to attract new residents. The village released their newest marketing campaign on the CTA Blue and Pink lines in the city of Chicago at the beginning of March, Marketing Director Jennifer Quirke said.
The ads, which appear as interior railcars on the trains and as posters at platforms, bring a sense of nostalgia to the demographic the village is attempting to reach, Quirke said. They invite commuters in the city to "level up," which apparently is 1990's video game speak, and move to Homewood.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Coronavirus: KFC pulls 'finger lickin' good' ad campaign following complaints | inews
KFC has paused its latest "finger lickin' good" ad campaign as health professionals around the world warn people to stop touching their face and to keep their hands clean amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The ad lasts a minute long and captures various diners eating fried chicken before licking oil and gravy off their greasy fingers. In one scene, a man offers his chicken-y finger to a woman, who licks it for him. Ambient piano music in the form of Chopin's Nocturne op.9 No.2 plays all the while.
Bill Conway wants local TV stations to air campaign ad with Kim Foxx's unedited cuss word -
Cook County state's attorney candidate Bill Conway has sent local television stations a letter asking them to air his latest campaign advertisement in full without censoring Kim Foxx's use of the word "bull----."
"First she said she recused herself, then she said this is how these cases are always handled, then she launched her campaign by saying, 'I own this,' " Conway said. "Now she's saying, that's bull----. That's been the political discourse up to this point and I think the voters deserve to hear Ms. Foxx's latest position on this verbatim."
Lexington - The Trump campaign | United States | The Economist
Tremulous profiles of the Trump campaign's manager are the latest thing in political reporting. They typically start by noting his intimidating height, bullish demeanour and "Viking beard" ("I get the Viking thing often," Mr Parscale has acknowledged).
Like Mr Trump—who launched Mr Parscale by paying him $1,500 to design his first campaign website—he is a political gadfly, rabble-rouser and dissembler. A sometime libertarian, who has rarely voted, he is now a staple warm-up act at Trump rallies: praising the president and attacking his enemies. A self-described "farm boy from Kansas", he in fact grew up in suburbia, the son of a wannabe Democratic politician.
Many things are taking place:

Brown Brothers wine adventures ad campaign with AJF GrowthOps - AdNews
The company has been pioneering adventures in wine since 1889, a journey of four generations of family wine making.
Scored by the dulcet tones of "Brown", a spoken word jazz track from Ken Nordine's album, Brown Brothers' brand campaign turns preconceived ideas of what is brown upside down, showing the diversity of the Brown Brothers portfolio of wines and the adventures in which they can be enjoyed.
Brown Brothers Marketing Manager, Emma Brown: "Whenever a bottle of our wine is opened, an adventure starts. Whether you're seeing friends spontaneously, sharing a meal with family or celebrating a significant milestone, the possibilities are endless – and that's what wine adventures are all about."
Pro-Trump group releasing new 'Quid Pro Quo Joe' ad ahead of Senate vote | TheHill
The Great America PAC, which has raised and spent more than $35 million in support of Trump, is putting six figures behind a new digital ad called "Quid Pro Quo Joe."
* * *
"Weeks after Joe Biden visits China as vice president, his son secures a private billion-dollar deal with the Bank of China. After Biden is named America's top diplomat to Ukraine, his son lands another million dollar deal in Ukraine. Then Biden gets Ukraine's top prosecutor fired before he can investigate. Instead of Quid Pro Quo Joe, America needs President Donald Trump."
Fact Check: Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign ad featuring Obama
ORLANDO, Fla. — Is it an Obama endorsement? No, but you might not know that from one Bernie Sanders ad.
The add is airing as the Democratic race is down to just two main contenders – Sanders and Joe Biden.
During the ad, former President Barack Obama is heard saying, "Bernie is somebody that has the virtue of saying what he believes."
* * *
While Obama did say these things about Sanders, as University of Central Florida political science professor John Hanley points out, the ad comes from several sources.
