What did that TV ad say?

I was looking at some Build the Block videos on YouTube and was shocked — shocked! — to find this old TV ad from early 2009:

What you’ve just watched is a figment of your imagination. It doesn’t really exist because Tim Riggenbach says they never promised us an IMAX.

This online promotion from “Friends of Build the Block” doesn’t exist either:

  1. Liar, Liar, pants on fire! This world of bloggers, YouTube, etc., makes lying so much more difficult–when will politicians ever learn that the truth serves them so much better? Oh, what a tangled web they weave when first they practice to deceive.

  2. Come on admit it, C.J. you faked those ads… you certainly aren’t saying Riggenbach and the other LIED to us, they constituents? They would never lie to us. They are honorable people, with only the people’s best interests at heart… they didn’t lie… you must have lied.

    What were you ever elected to?

  3. Who Shot the commericials? I know, funded by friends of build the block. but the marketing campaign was primarily? I believe I know the answer, just wanted to be sure.

  4. WOW if this doesn’t show a whole set of lies we the people of peoria have been told nothing else will. Can’t deny it now can they or maybe they still can.

  5. I was thinking about the IMAX deal. What if there is something out there that is better than IMAX that also may be less expensive? I don’t know that there is, but what if?

  6. Ben,

    Don’t forget that the IMAX fiasco is only part of the problem. It is difficult to find anything about the current museum ‘plan’ that isn’t questionable [financial goals that have yet to be met, shady grant proposals, endowment issues, operating procedures, etc].

    We are still talking about a multi-million [tax] dollar project that has had little, if any, oversight from the very beginning.

  7. Got back about 4:15 from the groundbreaking. Interestingly, the words “IMAX” or “Bonds” never came up in any of the speeches.

    Anyone interested in seeing the video on YouTube? I have all of it
    blowing winds and all. (and I mean actual winds, not the speakers)

  8. C.J., am I wrong in assuming that many Peoriaarea churches, also, contribute to the operation of Peoria Christian School–I don’t think tuition pays for everything?

  9. Unfortunately you all have it wrong. It isn’t what was said in the ads that is the problem, its your HEARING that is the problem. When you thought they said IMAX they actually said something different and you interpreted it that way. Same with the rest of the things we seem to disagree on. They said one thing and we heard another. Its our fault because we don’t listen well. At least that is the only explanation that I can come up with for the moment. Now why the written word is different? Well that could be that you need your glasses renewed because you are reading it properly. Aren’t we a fine mess? Can hear or see right. But the picture of money pouring down this new hole in the ground is being seen by all of us equally the same.
