New Yorkers Grow Tired of Incessant Bloomberg Ads

Last Thursday’s front page of the daily newspaper AmNY was very reminiscent of the movie poster for The Promise of New York. In particular, the “Bloomberg in a TV” image.

Just as the movie poster for The Promise of New York emphasized Bloomberg’s omnipresence on the airwaves and his media power, the front page was inspired by the mayor’s incessant advertising in the current election through TV, radio, print, internet, billboards… It’s like déjà vu all over again.

According to the cover article in AmNY, New Yorkers are growing tired of the mayor’s incessant ads.  The results of a recent poll show that about 80% of New Yorkers have seen the ads, and that a majority of them find them to be annoying.

Here’s another article discussing the same poll results in the NY Daily News.

“It’s absurd. He said voters would be able to

judge him on his record. Well, he’s not running

on his record, he’s running on his money.”
