However, the ad that was seen as the most successful in 2000 reflected Chen Shui-bian's Taiwanese roots, that was the Kuantien Ad that showed the small town where he had grown up, his neighbours, relatives and people that had known him as a child.
2005, Dafydd Fell, “Party change on the national identity issue”, in Party Politics in Taiwan: Party change and the democratic evolution of Taiwan, 1991–2004, Routledge, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 114:In the final few weeks before the vote, a rash of ads appeared on radio and TV claiming that Hillary Clinton was too frail, too liberal and too ethically compromised to become president. […] Not many people took Morris’s ad too seriously; most news outlets were pleased for a frothy story in an election that was short on light relief.
2019 July 28, Sam Wolfson, “Looking for Mr T: the politicisation of testosterone”, in The Guardian, archived from the original on 22 Aug 2024:I have placed both of the ads in the newspaper as instructed.
