Cllr Pat Fitzgerald, Dont Let your Kids Post Your Youtubes

Read more about: Blogging, Fianna Fail, Wicklow, irishelection.tv

This was so good over at irishelection.tv, it gave us rule number 3. Never let your young ones post your videos to you tube.

To be fair, for a bebo site, Pat Fitzgerald’s isn’t half bad. The FF green is just about handle-able. The picture of Dick Roche encroaches on the eye no matter where you are on the page but it cannot be helped (necessary deference to the incumbent and all). And, most interstingly to irishelection.tv, he has a flashbox.

Ladies and Gents, Cllr. Pat Fitzgerald

Quite a video, I think you will agree. The soundtrack is hugely ambitious, I mean Chariots of Fire is a classic. This is not.Pat is struggling to overcome a huge challenge. He needs a great deal more life in his videos. And he wants to be the Dail’s first ever Arklow TD.

This one is bookmarked for further updates. I quite like the style, its direct, honest and to the point. Pat is keeping us in frame, talking to us and learning solid lessons about his message. It is very long and the stuff on his kids does sound a little forced. Well done on such achievers Pat, I mean it, but it draws the video on too long. You gotta hit short, sharp and hard.

It feels like a checklist is being completed on this one. The kids bit is nice, touching but overall not very necessary. People wont watch this for long. Make it count next time. Get stuck into Nicky Kelly. Tell us all why Arklow deserves the Gardai that Moyross doesnt get or something dramatic.

At the moment, it is the other video on your account that gives a little more insight, more depth, more reality. More…..

Beer Bonging


Erm. oops.

    I will vote for him as his soon is a skateboarder. :) The unpolishedness of it kind of works. He seems really. But video is far to short. Ciaran Cuffe does the best videos. And most are under 1 minute. Youtube should be like a press release with video. 1 point, in under 1 minute.

    Hey, it was me who posted the videos for Pat, not his children. Just to set that one straight ok. Also, I am not a kid. All the people in the video are adults and it was back in our college days. Pat is a good Councillor, he does a great deal of work for people in Arklow and should be the first T.D. from Arklow. He has shown that he has the confidence of the Arklow people, having shown that in the last election. It’s funny the little bit of publicity all my friends got, never thought our harmless drinking days would become a nationwide issue.
    Regards,
    Patrick Sweeney
    P.S. I will be more careful next time, to create a different account for my personal and public life :) , lesson learned!
