Dear Log,

«In the 1950s, fear-mongering critics foresaw a dystopian future in which political leaders would be 'sold like soap'. They were risibly wrong. Soap advertising rarely stoops to the level on which American political advertising, with its creepy background music, grotesque slo-mo footage and fear-inducing voice-over announcers, lives.»
