Oscar-winning documentary maker Errol Morris has made a series of political "Switcher" ads for Move On.

Morris uses the same format as the Switcher commercials he made for Apple. But instead of PC users who switched to the Mac, Morris interviews dozens of people who voted for Bush in 2000 but will now vote for Kerry. And there's also no annoying Italian circus music.

All 42 ads are on Morris' site; organised by category: Iraq, environment, economy, etc.

I wonder if Steve Jobs had anything to do with this. Jobs is reportedly a Kerry adviser.

Update: Andrew Carey writes, "I saw that you had a screenshot of the video featuring Jen Leon. Just thouht I'd let you know that she uses a Mac, and back in 1999 she convinced ME to switch from the PC. Cool beans!"
