New Wal-Mart "ad" parodies 3 a.m. ads

This is a pretty good parody on Wal-Mart, and all of the 3 a.m. ads that were run a few weeks ago by both the Clinton and Obama campaigns. Like all good parodies, this one does a lot in about a minute (complex humor!) - taking a swipe at the world's largest retailer, while simultaneously poking fun at the absurd 3 a.m. advertisements that were a staple of debate on any political talk show a few weeks back. Well done.

Full disclosure - at the end of the ad, you'll notice that it's made by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, which I was a member of for over 10 years. The UFCW has been at war with Wal-Mart for years in an unsuccessful attempt to unionize the world's largest retailer. While I'm not blindly and completely pro-union, I do agree that unionizing Wal-Mart workers would go a long way toward giving them the benefits they've been deprived of for so long.
