Political campaign advertising continues to be a controversial policy topic in advertising and marketing research. It is also a prime subject for investigating the ethical evaluations of consumers (or voters). The following study draws from postmodern communication theory and employs a qualitative research methodology in order to explore voters' intimate and subjective views about politics, candidates, and political advertising. The findings include emergent themes relating to significant media rituals in voters' lives, the cynical perspective of politics as a "game", and the widespread disapproval and suspicion with which voters regard negative political advertising. Additionally, the a priori theme of political information as "disinformation" was proposed and expanded upon. Findings are discussed in light of a greater understanding of the appropriateness of the traditional versus the postmodern perspective of political communication, informants' construction of lsquomoral boundariesrsquo which help them determine right from wrong, acceptable vs. unacceptable political behaviours in this particular context.
