While wasting time over at iowntheworld I came across probably the most awesome, scary, apocalyptic, scathing, damning, and altogether sinister political ad I’ve seen in a long, long time. Fasten your seat belt prior to viewing, this is one wild ride.

Where to begin?

This guy has a ready made niche, doing voice overs for Satan in any more “Omen” remakes.

I don’t know if any of that stuff he said is true, political ads by their very nature run fast and loose with the facts, but that voice and those red eyes scared the crap out of me.

At first I thought this was a goof, I can’t see a 3 plus minute ad getting much traction but I saw an article in my local paper this morning about the California Democrats getting all indignant over it, funny, but the ad didn’t even mention them, what is their beef?  Maybe there is like a shorter version, about 1 minute in length, that will get aired.

The other thing I thought interesting, for an ad touting Carly Fiorina, we see precious little of her in it. Maybe she is still self conscious about her haircut. Here is the Carly for California website. For those unaware, Carly has been undergoing daily radiation therapy for breast cancer, no doubt the treatment has been kicking her ass, but she beat it, good for her.

The ad mentions that Carly “accomplished enormous things in life”, if he is talking about her cancer battle then I would agree. If this is meant to tout her particular business acumen, I’m not convinced. Without delving too far into her wiki page or her background ,the two things I know her for is her CEO’ship at HP and her work as chairperson of the McCain campaign. In my mind both were dismal failures. She did nothing to strengthen the HP name or it’s balance sheet before she was ignominiously let go (with a Warren Buffet style golden parachute) and we all know what a bad campaign McCain ran, if her fingerprints are anywhere near that debacle, she should distant herself from that immediately.

I have heard her speak on the issues and she has a command presence that, in my mind, would serve her better in giving Boxer the boot than these Beelzebub ads her campaign is running now.

I found a funny line over at ed driscoll

“I like it! Boys, we’ve got a winner with this one. Run that baby! Get it up on YouTube, pronto.”

“Don’t you mean EweTube, boss?”

“BWAHAHAHAHAH! What could wrong with this idea?!”

And Mary Katherine Ham had some choice comments:

  This thing’s going viral, but not necessarily in a way that will help Carly Fiorina’s message. It just oozes that special brand of ludicrous hilarity that the Internet loves, and the Internet will give the demon sheep many, many lives. And, you will now be able to say, “I knew the demon sheep when.”

  If I thought the creation of the demon sheep was an intentional Internet hit, I’d be impressed, but I’m not sure it was. Nor am I sure that the true inanity required to produce viral hits will ever be the kind of thing that serves political campaigns well, but here’s to the Fiorina campaign for creating something we’ll all remember.

I hope Carly gets the nomination, I can’t wait to see what this crew will come up with in targeting Boxer, but stick with the Satan theme, is always works with democrats.
