The first is an anti-congestion pricing spot by the Committee to Keep NYC Congestion Tax Free that's a study in a certain kind of minimalism.

(The mayor is expected to discuss congestion pricing during a construction industry forum at the Ritz-Carlton at 1 p.m. today.)

And here, inspired by the Crush on Barack Obama video, are a couple of Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton-themed versions.
