IT'S JUST OCCURRED TO ME WHAT THEY'VE BEEN CHANTING FOR THE LAST FEW MINUTES: I'm going to skate towards the edges of our No Politics rule for a moment just to highlight an ad from an underdog candidate in an upcoming California special election, because if you're going for the underdog pitch this is pretty much how you have to do it. Once the music kicks in: chills.

You know what I like about that ad? I think it shows he's done enough cardio to survive the impending zombie apocalypse. Endorsed.
ReplyDeleteHeck of a break that Sean Astin was available.
ReplyDeleteAaron Schock could probably beat him in feats of strength.
ReplyDeleteAnd if we're suspending the politics rule, can I just point out the absurdity that Rep. Chris Lee had to resign after sending a photo of him flexing without a shirt on to a prostitute, while Congressman Schock can pose on the cover of men's health, flexing without a shirt, and thus be seen by many more prostitutes?
That special election is full of bizareness, because it's the first California "Jungle Primary" and in a district where there are some long-term hard feelings toward the former incumbent.
ReplyDeleteAstin's serving as Adler's campaign manager.
ReplyDeleteOn your second point, note the synergy of this Candorville cartoon that appeared this week (don't the comics have a three-week lead time?).

One complaint: even if it was done purely so you could see his face more clearly, Adler looks like he doesn't know how to wear a football helmet.
ReplyDeleteSomeone tweeted this at Deadspin's Drew Magary yesterday and I thought it was hilarious:
ReplyDelete<span>Obi-Wan letting Vader kill him was a troll move and not a suicide. "Oh you killed me? BOOM, I'm a Force Ghost! LOL, u mad?"</span>
Following up with the election results, Dan Adler received 285 votes.
