Most Unintentionally Hilarious Political Ad EverFollow

Carly Fiorina's new ad, targeting her Republican primary rival Tom Campbell, is the lulziest political ad I've ever seen. 3 minutes of melodramatic sheep, sock-puppets, and a soothing male voice gently scolding Campbell as being a "FCINO" - Fiscal Conservative In Name Only.

This full version is of course way too long to go on TV, so I expect that a 30 second soundbite version will be aired in California instead.

But for the full effect, you NEED to watch the whole thing. By minute 2, you'll be laughing helplessly into your hands as well.

That whole race is a ************ The anti-Fiorina web site mistakenly had her running for Gov, not Senator. Way to be more concerned with stupid sound bites (Failorina? really?) than substance.

Liberal Conspiracy
*******
TILT
The Democratic nominee for Lt. Gov has an arrest record for holding a knife to the throat of his prostitute girlfriend.

We win.

Wow. Choose one metaphor and stick with it, hmm? kkthxbye.

The people involved in writing, filming, and directing that commercial all need to be lined up against the wall and shot for eye-socket rape.

They also need to have their degrees revoked from whatever art school they came from. If they even graduated . . .

"literally set the stage"

Honestly, I think they gave a twelve year old a jumbo bottle of coke, some crisps and a night to mash something together with windows movie maker.

I loved the little sheep with the red eyes. I thought it was a puppet at first, then when I saw the guy crawling on the ground in the sheep skin I lost it laughing. Smiley: laugh

I am TOTALLY out of it when it comes to CA politics... is this the same Carly Fiorina who was fired from HP because she made the most God-awful decisions ever involving their merger, resulting in the company's stock tanking? The one who was originally used as an example in Business Psychology books of a powerful woman, and currently is now lambasted for being the go-to example of a terrible leader?

SHE'S running for the Senate? Oh gosh. Oh wow. Oh boy...

Not only running, but she has a fair shot at being elected. It's pretty bad.

It seems strongly implied that Carly Fiorna sees Californians as sheep.
