Now that the politicking is done...

We should be amused by some weird ads.

My all-time favorite: Chuck Norris supporting Mike Huckabee. Only for the weird punch-ending:




Okay. Giant man in a business releasing some sort of strange liquid on a crowd of peons below while maniacally laughing. Fucking brilliant! Sure, it's "gasoline"...





"San Francisco values" is a keyword amongst conservatives that means "things I ought to hate". But that isn't what's funny about this ad. What's funny is the awkward three dancers that appear at 0:13. Are they supposed to represent the debauchery that happens at San Francisco? Oh well, judge for yourselves the oddity of the three random disco boppers:




This is a really odd collection of stock film that is reminiscent of 1940s French surrealism. But the most hilarious part comes at 0:10. i recommend people to stop the film there to bask in the glory of apparently proverbial butt rape.




This next one should win over voters. Yay, puppies! Oh, wait. Weird close-up of dog feces, and an even more bizare subtitle "Experience" while the candidate cleans the fecal matter off the ground. Gah, no wonder this one lost the primaries:




This is one way to try to get the young vote: remake Johnny Cash's "I've Been Everywhere" with a side-reference to a Bob Dylan classic, "Subterranean Homesick Blues". My only criticism: he obviously didn't hep make the song, since he didn't even strum a real chord in the beginning of his ad.




This is just a very weird ad showing paranoia. Funny historically, because he didn't get this out in time to head-off his associations with oil executives being in ads from independent groups and Al Franken, his opponent:




Very Mac vs. PC like commercial concerning the "Prop 8" in California. I think I will take hints from this commercial on how to pick up progressive, liberal ladies:





Okay, I love Nader. I voted Nader, and I've supported Nader since 2000. But this is a really strange soliloquy to Cardozo the parrot where Nader is addressing his angst about the apathy of America toward the corporate chains latched onto her and whether he should dress up like a Panda. I think he should have skipped this strange video with the cute parrot and just dressed up like a panda.
