A new promotional ad for X Factor takes a page out of the politician’s handbook to elevate the status of judge Simon Cowell.
The red, white and blue themed 30-second commercial was cleverly crafted to resemble a political campaign ad.
After short references to Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid, the ad takes a poke at Cowell’s monstrous ego, “America deserves a judge who cares about himself 100%. America deserves Simon Cowell.”
In the closing seconds we hear the voice of Simon droning, “I’m Simon Cowell and I approve this message.”
