Was that the movie where all the restaurants were Taco Bell?

I got the same feeling about the ad.

It had a very uneasy quality about it, perhaps a film noir or avant garde element to it.

Your idea of him giving the finger to the nanny staters makes a lot of sense...particularly considering that rather sarcastic grin he slowly developed at the end. Either very strange or very clever.

I personally hate smoking, my Dad died at 65 of lung cancer.

That being said, no one forced him to smoke. The government is full of busy-bodies with inflated self-visions of importance.

The government should butt-out!

Please spellcheck & proofread. Way too many typos in that post, as well as the title of the thread.

Run around in front of my little kids nekkid with green Jello smeared all over you, and I’ll make it my business.

Don’t care what you eat, drink, or otherwise; just don’t dangle your privates in front of my little girls. They’ve got a right to live in this world without being confronted with perverts.

People are underestimating Cain again. He's setting the rest of the guys in the race up to attack him over the ad or to have some democrat do it. He can then be way out in the lead on rolling back the Nanny State the same way he was out front on taxes. As soon as the rest jump on board anti-Nanny State stuff, he'll be on to something else.

He figures that whether he wins or not, he can at least call the tune the candidates dance to. Pretty damn smart if you ask me, and way smarter than anyone else in the race except maybe Newt but even Newt isn't as cunning. Cain for President, Newt for VP, that's going to be the ticket because the rest of the boobs, no matter how much money they have and in spite of the media cheer leading for them, are just not even on the same planet as the electorate.

It's not just having your cash ripped off, your job prospects reduced by absurd regulations, and your freedom of speech and religion taken away, it's being told you can't smoke a cigarette and drive the car you like while you look for work that pisses people off. Just think how FDR would have done if he had outlawed movies and big band music in order to get people “focused” on saving the planet back in ‘33. Well, that's what Bozo and his Wookie are up to and yes, it's as bad as ‘33 already there are just more assets for most people to burn through before the reality finally hits with full force.

JMHO

It's a huge middle-finger to the nanny-state

You could not be more correct.

A campaign professional like Block would certainly understand the conventional wisdom against doing something like smoking in an ad. People who smoke often annoy people who don't smoke, and one generally does not want to gratuitously turn off any part of a potential audience.

But in this context, it is a message that Cain stands for freedom. Even most non-smokers understand that Big Government in places like New York City and San Francisco persecutes smokers, and that Big Government feels it has the right to tell people whether they can smoke, eat salty foods, eat foods with trans-fat, eat french fies, and on and on. And liberals argue that people who do these unhealthy things are imposing costs on the rest of society because society pays or should pay for their healthcare through nationalized health care or its equivalent (on the other hand, liberals are in favor of promiscuous homosexual bath house sex with people carrying deadly diseases, so go figure).

I'm looking forward to the next ad in which Block explains another reason to vote for Cain and then at the end enjoys a supersized French Fries and a milkshake.

I think someone has a very strange idea of what appeals to the American electorate.

I was never very strong on Cain before. This stupid commercial just about put me 100% sure I can't vote for him.

His tax plan really sucks. He has no chance. The polling numbers are fraudulent. And also show how pathetic the other Republican candidates are.

Give me a wake-up call for 2016.
