Political Ads

Nothing makes a candidate seem more sensible than a photo of them with two llamas and a macaw.

I was almost with her until she started equating free reign for utility companies with being independent of special interests.

Well, I wasn't necessarily against her (I like a gal with spunk) until she got to “They would shut down energy (sic), kill capitalism, and get rid of people just to create their [skeery-arthritic-scarequote-fingers] perfect world [/skeery-arthritic-scarequote-fingers.]”

When she starts walking to toward the camera (0:25) you can hear the cameraman saying, "Oh, shit, I think she's gonna hit me!"

Okay, this is weird:

"Rombo"

It's a Santorum ad that: 1) portrays Mitt Romney in action-hero mode; 2) portrays Rick Santorum as a two-dimensional cardboard cutout; and 3) seems designed to provide fodder for a million jokes about, uh, that thing you learn about "Santorum" if you Google it.

Sometimes the things people who are paid to come up with ideas come up with really boggle the mind.

I've never liked Mitt Romney as much as after watching that ad. 

We've been waiting years for him to show his playful side; who knew he just needed to hire an actor to show it for him?

Gross. When you're expecting bullets to come out of a gun, it's hard to watch wet flying poop balls. "SANTORUM: HE WILL COMPEL HIS OPPONENTS TO WEAPONIZE SOFT WET POOP"

Tom missed Young Boozer.

In a very odd twist of fate, I recently met Young Boozer's daughter's boyfriend, though I didn't know it until later.  The world comes full circle.

This, right here, is the single greatest political ad I've ever heard. Although, I suppose you'd have to be from Western PA in order to really "get" it.
