Seattleite here, as far as the ads- I felt that the target audience was minorities. All seemed to be focused on the lower to middle class spending consumers. As a member of the "middle class" and a minority group, it was bitter sweet. A lot of focus was spent on things that were irrelevant.... Beer,chips... A lot has changed in the past year and I would have liked to have witnessed some issues that promote the "change" our nation wants to see.
