Etch A Sketch, Mitt Romney, ad campaign


Etch A Sketch made recent news headlines when a campaign aide compared the toy with presidential candidate Mitt Romney's election strategy. The toy company has since responded to the controversial comment with its new "Shake it Up, America" campaign ads.

"Etch A Sketch is a lot like politics, there's a lot of gray area," reads one ad. "We have a left knob and a right knob for each political party. (But remember, when both work together, we can do loop de loops.)," reads another.

Well played, Ohio Art.
