Al Jazeera picks up Basil Marceaux's OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN AD!

Thanks to my friend Will who helped work on the campaign for forwarding this 2010 electoral ad campaign wrap up news piece that aired on Al Jazeera. The advert I did for Basil is shown about 2 minutes in, and they incorrectly assume that this was paid work : Basil spent no money on the creation of the ad in question, and nobody at Al Jazeera made any attempt to contact me to verify their statements. Our budget for this entire election was 0$ because Basil does not believe in taking contributions. This has been one of his basic stances for awhile - the cycle of political contributions for in office payoffs and backroom promises is something we were trying to break with this movement.

Either way, thank you Al Jazeera for picking up on all our hard work, it's just too bad you cant be bothered to actually get facts from people... actual journalism must be really hard.
