NPR............yaaaaaawwwwwwwwwnnnnnn

The destroyer of HP has made a really stupid ad, this is a surprise why?

[Clintonfatigued]

This ad is so bizarre, it’s getting covered in other countries. Those who haven’t seen it should do so. Better yet, show it to family, friends, and even strangers. It could be the opportunity of a lifetime.

I had a feeling that the strange, over-the-top images would overwhelm the message.

[Clintonfatigued]

You’re right about the source. I’m not saying this is the worst political ad ever, but might be the strangest.

[irishtenor]

NPR - Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

[Mobties]

Well, she certainly didn’t have the midas touch at HP.

[research99]

The best way to view the ad, is to Pink Floyd’s “Sheep” (from the “Animals” LP).

It’s already on youtube.

I say, if the info in the ad is true, not a bad ad... cept they could’ve done a better evil sheep or a sheep in wolf’s clothing.

[valkyry1]

I thought it was pretty funny!

Chuck DeVore, who has suddenly become the forgotten candidate in all this, has set up a Web site, demonsheep.org, which proclaims it represents the "Society for the Eradication of Demon Sheep From Our Political Discourse."

Freepers have GOT to check this one out:

Paints an memorable image of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Sort of my image of Kay Bailey Hutchison. I don’t have a problem with it.

[GeronL]

Apparently they are going to owe royalties to some B-movie from New Zealand... heh

Well ... I actually liked the AD ... it seems that liberals don't like it because it uses sarcasm to make FUN of their own "tax and spend" policies ...


Now ... I know that Carley ran HP into the ground, and that she actually may be a nitwit ...


But ... EVERYONE is talking about this "disasterous" AD ... some folks-voters must have watched it a DOZEN times ...

and "everytime" they watch the AD ... the sheep and pigs FADE to the "intellectual-emotional" BACKGROUND ...

And ALL that viewers REMEMBER is how the "bad guy" is ADDICTED to raising taxes ...


Just My Two Cents ... with a nod to Free Republic's "John Huang" ...

Fascinating. Chuck DeVore strikes me as a good man who overreached politically.

[Enchante]

I think they were trying to emulate the "viral" success of THIS little "sheep ad" (non-political) which truly is amazing and funny. Don't miss this one on "extreme sheep-herding which is great:

The Really Funny "Sheep Ad"

but Carly's "sheep ad" is merely stupid, annoying, and very very weird. It doesn't entertain or enLIGHTen, it merely irritates (in my most humble opinion)

[Clintonfatigued]

Does this mean that Fiorina is supposed to be Little Bo Peep?

[MarkAccord]

Me Thinketh the NPR Protesteth too much.

Actually, it was a good memorable ad . . cost them a few thousand dollars to make and gave thme millions of dollars of publicity.

I have heard a lot of bad things about Bill Campbell on foreign policy and the Middle East, so Carly is the winner in this race. Now if she will only grow out her hair a bit more .
