Now this is an aside, sort of. Because it's not at all attacking.
But I always wonder at not only political advertisements but business ones as well that only seem to show the advertiser with his family without mentioning anything of substance.
My husband and I ask each other if the message is "Vote for me (Use my services); I have motile sperm."
Does the mere presence of offspring indicate some character trait that they're trying to showcase?
I mean, I'm not complaining exactly. Smiling youngsters are always pleasant to see. And the backdrop is usually pleasing to the eye as well. I'm just confused by the message.
