Frozen (advertisement)

"Frozen" (also called the "Ballad of Dannie Goeb") was a political advertisement issued by incumbent David Dewhurst's campaign on YouTube during the 2014 primary runoff for Lieutenant Governor of Texas against Dan Patrick.

Dewhurst, the three-term lieutenant governor, faced primary challenge from Tea Party favorite Dan Patrick.

DewFeed consisted of a webpage with GIFs from Frozen with captions extolling Patrick's conservative virtues and attacking Dewhurst.

During his three terms as lieutenant governor, Dewhurst helped pass the controversial 2003 Texas redistricting plan as well as "business friendly" legislation.

David Dewhurst personally did not find "Frozen" entertaining, but released it anyway at the prompting of his younger family members and campaign staff.

"[5] In response to the advertisement, Dan Patrick's campaign released a series of GIFs from Frozen on a site called DewFeed, a play off of BuzzFeed.
