AE911Truth & NYCCAN NY TV Ad Campaign

Well, we'll see if he comes here. He was on about the Jones/Harrit paper, and about Tony Szamboti's work. I pointed him to the destruction of both of those here. He was not grateful.

Now he's working on replying to Gregory Urich's 18 points.

What makes every truther think they alone are the purveyors of Teh Ultimate Answer!!11!?

Nice work there, jhunter.

 

[jhunter1163]

Ol' Mark just doesn't get it. Gregory Urich is a Truther. If your own team sees problems with your evidence, it's time to re-evaluate for sure.

I posted this on 11 October.

Finally, an update has just arrived. They've only raised $88,000, and have barely raised any for weeks.

[...]The contract will be finalized by the end of the week, at which time we will announce the exact dates the ad will be aired.

I'm not holding my breath.

Two weeks later... still nothing.

Now they are at $93,882. Has the ad been run anywhere? The buildingwhat.org web page says "Watch the TV Ad Millions of New Yorkers Will See." Setting aside their optimistic view of impressions, will they ever run the ad?

I can't believe that this is tax deductible. If their math is right, and if they get to $100,000 in donations, they will have $85,000 left for ad placement (before commissions).

BuildingWhat? is a TV ad campaign to raise awareness of Building 7

All contributions are 100% tax-deductible. 5% of your contribution will be donated to the WTC Rescuers Foundation and 5% will go to Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, one of the campaign’s cosponsors. Of the remaining 90%, 5% will go toward web design and press releases, and the rest will go toward ad placement.

Hey....How do I get in on this racket? Every time I'm asked to sponsor an event they always want me to pay.

This arrived in my inbox this morning:

The ad will run in 350 spots from November 2 through November 10 and will be seen about 7.1 million times by nearly 900,000 unique viewers at an average of eight-plus times each. And these estimates do not take into account that Election Day and the Wednesday after are two of the biggest days in the year for television viewership.

The ad will appear on thirteen channels including MSNBC, CNN, Comedy Central, HGTV, Logo TV, Bio TV, Versus TV, MSG, Sports NY, VH1, HLN, CNBC and Bravo. We have “roadblocks” scheduled on Wednesday night from 8pm to 9pm and 11pm to midnight. This means that those of you in the New York area who tune in to Keith Olbermann, The Daily Show, Nancy Grace, CNBC, MSG, The Biography Channel and Versus TV at 8pm, and The Daily Show/Colbert Report, Anderson Cooper, Logo TV, and the Biography Channel at 11pm are guaranteed to see the ad.

Alongside the TV spots, we will be conducting outreach to the media and to the New York City Council to ensure that BuildingWhat? gets the attention it deserves. Following the run of the ad, we will commission a new opinion poll by the Siena Research Institute and send the results to every City Council member.

Wouldn't it be priceless if the results showed that FEWER people believed 9/11 was an inside job after this campaign than before? If it's an Internet poll, we'd have to game it. Just HAVE to.

Hmm, yes, we might have to, since they're trying to game their poll.

And the solid, scientific researchers at NYCCAN have Siena Research Center running a pre-poll as a control so that they can validate the effictiveness of their ad, right? Given that they want to use each donated dollar in the most efficient and effective way, this would sort of be a no-brainer.

Hehehe! I guess this proves they have no brains!

If we can get 360,000 votes for a cat, we can surely get the votes to say 9/11 was an outside job, no?

I don't know about that.

Cats are unique and have a mystical aura when it comes to attracting the dwellers of the interwebs.

Not quite on-topic, but brilliant just the same:

Most excellent! Thanks for the laugh, jhunter.

Yep, and NYCCAN are all excited.

Election Day 2010 is here, and across New York hundreds of thousands of people are tuning in for election results and are hearing about World Trade Center Building 7 for the first time ever. In fact, friends of the campaign just contacted us to say they saw the ad on CNN at 9pm EST.

So, thank you to everyone who has worked so hard and donated so generously to make this campaign possible. This is truly a moment to rejoice. For the next eight days, the ad will air over 350 times and is estimated to be seen by millions of viewers in the New York Metropolitan Area, reaching core target audiences multiple times.

For those of you in the New York area who want to know when to tune in so that you are guaranteed to see it, we have “roadblocks” scheduled on Wednesday night from 8pm to 9pm and 11pm to midnight. This means that if you watch Keith Olbermann, The Daily Show, Nancy Grace, CNBC, MSG, The Biography Channel and Versus TV at 8pm, and The Daily Show/Colbert Report, Anderson Cooper, Logo TV, and the Biography Channel at 11pm, you will definitely see it.

Why are you depressed? The worst this AE truth can get is wide spread attention. Technical scrutiny of any of their "theories" would mean certain death. That's why they never submit anything for peer review or actually try to bring anyone to court with their "smoking guns".

This whole thing is an incredible waste of money and a pay check for Gage. Consider this, when was the last time you saw a "sponsor" charge 5% of the take?*

"Truthers" take note.

Why are you depressed?

For one, the organizers managed to get sufficient funding for a series of commercials. That level of support for the bunk that the twoofers spew is depressing enough.

Maybe, but ultimately propagating this nonsense can only hurt them. They think WTC7 is a hidden magic bullet, and that telling people about it will lead to people following the breadcrumb trail they lay out.

The problem is, the premise is still nuts and devoid of sense. They could have a multi-million dollar ad campaign and it wouldn't make any difference.
