For the record, I wouldn’t know John Oceguera from a manhole cover and the amount of ‘truthiness’ in this ad is of no concern to me. But it’s in heavy rotation on Las Vegas TV stations and makes me grind my molars every time I see it. Why? Because it was obviously crafted by some K Street snobs who think we Silver State rubes need to have everything spelled out to us in cheesy, ancient casino metaphors because we’re too fucking dumb to do anything but gamble. Condescending much? I give this spot an ‘F’ for creativity — or lack thereof — and a ‘D’ for dumbassitude.
