Which Jews for Obama video will be more effective?

The increasing number of Jews for Obama videos is both a welcome sign and a source of interesting marketing research. If you have any Jewish relatives who are considering voting for McCain because of Israel, I'd seriously recommend sending them this blog post (especially if they live in Florida). Please let me know if you do, I will greatly appreciate it.

So what will it be? Will it be the flashy, humorous, guilt-based video with the closest thing to a Jewish sex goddess since Esther (I'm sure Sarah Silverman would love being called that), or the tough, practical orthodox Jewish mother who loves Israel and has her facts straight? I don't know which order would be better to send them in, but mix it up, and let me know.

Art, or Indecency?

Via the Livejournal of John Cowperthwait, without a doubt the best LJ I read:

Inside, police found a nude man, Joshua M. Culotta, suspended from the ceiling in an aerial harness that Schramm earlier called a "chandelier."

"He was in plain view," said Collins, the investigating sergeant.

Officers said they arrested Culotta, 26, for violating the city ordinance. The man, who is deaf, seemed confused and told a reporter, "I was just modeling." As officers handcuffed him, he started to cry.

"He'll be okay. Misdemeanor charge," an officer told one of the man's friends.

...

Collins said the police began an investigation Friday night after hearing that the gallery was displaying genitals while serving alcohol. He would not specify how they knew, saying he wouldn't reveal an investigative tactic.

I think the best part of the story is that all the massive drawings and sculptures of penises across the room were alright.
