Attack Ad Generator

Make your own political attack ad

The Attack Ad Generator was launched before the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election and, for the first time, put the power of slanderous political advertising in the hands of the average citizen.

Assembling an ad is as simple as using refrigerator magnet poetry... Drag some words and hear them read by an ominous sounding narrator. Pick a striking background image, add some dubiously truthful text and you've got yourself an attack ad!

The Attack Ad Generator was built with Merb, Sequel and jQuery.

“Forget the news and the polls - Attack Ad Generator is where you want to be over the next four days. The site lets you create your own attack ads by combining magnetic poetry with a baritone voice and imagery from the political season. The results are absolutely hilarious.”

“We’ve seen plenty of attack ads this election season, but none of them are quite like the do-it-yourself variety found at the Attack Ad Generator. This simple site lets you drag and drop words to create your own political attack ad…”
