ParkRidge47 wrote back, saying that the "Hillary 1984" ad, which urged Americans to "Vote Different," was inspired by Hollywood movie mogul David Geffen's public critique of Clinton � and "Clinton's campaign bullying of donors and political operatives" in the wake of it, according to Sifrey's Web posting.

In the response to Sifrey, ParkRidge47 (www.techpresident.com/node/130) said that the idea for the ad "was simple and so was the execution. Make a bold statement about the Democratic primary race by culture jacking a famous commercial and replacing as few images as possible. For some people it doesn't register, but for people familiar with the ad and the race it has obviously struck a chord."
