To add to Ben Carson’s unconventional and unorthodox campaign style, his campaign is launching a bit of a different advertising strategy.

Rapping.

Yes, Dr. Carson is launching a new 60-second urban radio advertisement scheduled to air Friday in eight markets.

His new $150,000 radio ad buy, called “Freedom,” will air for two weeks in Miami, Atlanta, Houston, Detroit, Birmingham, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi, Memphis, Tennessee and Little Rock, Arkansas.

This is quickly descending into Jebito-levels of embarrassment and pandering.

Will his next ad feature him wearing a hoodie while doing a reverse dunk?

I heard this on Laura today and am disgusted that he would stoop to this crap. I thought he was a well educated and decent man. His ad is absolute garbage.

Lots of big words in the ad may leave many in the audience baffled.

He should do a remake of Steve Martin’s SNL tune ‘King Tut’ with the Great Pyramids in the background.

I hate to tell him this, but Gibmedat and Dindonuffin tuned out when they heard the words “hard work” and “responsibility.”

Is anyone else old enough to remember this rap?

He’s comin
He’s comin
He’s comin

He’s here

His name is Jesse

His name is Jesse

Hypocrites and Uncle Toms are talkin trash
Liberty and justice are a thing of the past
They want a stronger nation at any cost
Even if it means that everything will soon be lost

He started on the bottom
Now he’s on the top
He proved that he can make it
So don’t never stop
Brothers stand together and let the whole world see
Our brother Jesse Jackson go down in history

So vote
Vote
Vote
Everybody get up and vote

See Ronald Reagan speakin on TV
Smilin like everything’s fine and dandy
Sounded real good when he tried to give a pep talk
To over 30 million poor people like me
How can he say that we gotta stick it out
When his belly is full and his future is sunny
I don’t need his jive advice
But I sure do need his jive time money

So vote
Vote
Vote
Everybody get up and vote

Now break down
Vote
Vote
Everybody get out and vote

The 30th day, that’s in December
Is a day that everybody’s gonna remember
Cause on that day a righteous man
Thought about takin a brand-new stand
The name of the man is Jesse Jackson
And his call for peace was loud as action
Cause now’s the time to change the nation
But not with just another negotiation
He went to the East for human’s rights
To free the lieutenant shot down in flight
Just another statistic, and the government knew it
They didn’t even want the man to go do it
Before he left, he called the President’s home
And Reagan didn’t even answer the phone
But I tell you one thing that’s a natural fact
You can bet he called Jesse when Jesse got back

What a joke. This, the grain storage pyramids and the cooked polls showing him ahead are the comedy relief of this campaign season.

Next he'll be doing MC Hammer knockoffs.

(well, that whole hammer thing might be a little to close to home)

Some face book comments on Ben Carson’s face book:

As the gods are my witness, if you heard someone like Carson saying those things walking down the street towards you, you’d crossover to the other side PRONTO grimacing
___________________________________________________________

“Ben Carson: Archaeologists Are Wrong, The Pyramids Were Built To Store Grain.”

It’s official: Trump is the smart one.
_______________________________________________________

How is it possible to be so dumb about everything? Does he live in a cave?

“My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain,” Carson said. “Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain.”

Honest to whatever god, I cannot follow the logic of this statement. Seriously, WHAT?
____________________________________________________

I’ve read the above sentences at least half a dozen times now and I still can’t figure out what the hell he’s trying to say. This honestly makes my head hurt.
_____________________________________________________

Clearly, aliens planted a few dead pharaohs in there to confuse and distract the grain robbers.
