Yes. Yes. We have all seen Carlyfornia’s wonderful Children of the Wool ad which is brilliant (because it’s getting lots of free play) and awful (because… well, it’s awful). Whether it is effective is open to question since at, like, eight hours long you kind of tune out listening as you stare in wonderment while it spirals into madness.
Best of all, we seem to have picked them up as an advertiser here on TBogg
We welcome our laser-eyed insane sheep advertising overlords.

I so much don’t understand this that I shall now run away. Baaah.
Ahem.
Didn’t she run HP into the ditch?
The ad’s Pythonesque qualities mark it as a satire. Perhaps Carly does, in fact, have a sense of humor?
She ran HP into such a big ditch that HP has now maxed out it’s donations to Boxer.
Do Randroids dream of electric sheep?
The only thing they need to change is to get the guy that narrates Forensic Files to do the voiceover. Then it would be PERFECT. Oh, and ditch the radioactive sheep-guy.
Man, you guys in CA gots problems. Here in Florida all we have to contend with is this dope.
WTF! I mean…WTF!!! As the President basically said the other day at the Republican retreat, once you go THIS far over the top, there’s no coming back. How could she accept his endorsement, or vice versa, after the primary.
“First, your Carlyness, we build a large wooden sheep.”
I think the end when we see the laser-eyed, sheep thing crawling away on all fours and his sad little sneakers poking out really undercuts the menace that the laser eyes are supposed to suggest.
And the early part of the ad reminded me of the Veridian Dynamics ads from Better Off Ted.
But hey, aside from that: Win Sandwich!
OMG, that was TOTALLY a Veridian Dynamics ad. Was that Phil or Lem behind those red eyes?
Yeah the view of the backside of the guy crawling away really makes the whole ad.
RINO = easy to pronounce and remember
DINO = easy to pronounce and remember
FCINO = fuck-if-i-know?
Fiorina’s real shot derives from the fact that the Dems are edging toward running ex-Governor Moonbeam. That she destroyed a fine computer company (Compaq) while nearly running HP into the ground is actually a feature for the fail-upward Republican party.
It doesn’t matter. We could elect a beef and bean burrito as governor here for all the difference it would make. Between our Brobdingnagian state constitution, the initiative process, and the requirement for a super majority in the legislature to so much as get an outhouse built, a beef and bean burrito will do more for me personally than any California governor could do.
Geez, that ad blows. Back when the Dems had some sand in their gizz, they only had to run this ad once and it killed Goldwater and the republiKKKans:

HalloweenJack for the win.
Magnificent.
“In Your Heart You Know He Might” was my fave, but “In Your Guts You Know He’s Nuts” had a lot of appeal, too.
Good times, good times.
Shorter Carly:
Good one! LOL
California is crazy, but consider that Sen. Ben Nelson (D BlueDog – Nebraska) worked his butt off to get a sweetheart deal for Nebraska worth several hundred million bucks (endlessly, year after year) and the people of Nebraska, including it’s Republican governor said, “No thanks.”
Nelson, having no sense of humor I can discern, said something like, “Oh okay, I’ll give it back.”
Failorina.
She should have put a goalie mask on that laser eyed faux sheep. Jason’d it up. I mean it’s not even scary.
Btw, “Carlyfornication” would be perfect in a mock rebuttal, no? Add wooly underwear.
Does anyone know if, when you play the ad, if it syncs up with Pink Floyd’s “Sheep” from Animals? Guess I’ll have to try…
hahaha, someone just described Carly as being in “full mutton meltdown.” There’s so much win with this wingnut.
ahahahaha…Mock and awe with Rachel Maddow.
There’s an old expression, “mutton dressed as lamb” — a bit sexist but alas, only too accurate for Carly.
Oooooo, no you didn’t!
I really like “Children of the Wool,” though. And the pronunciation for FCINO is inspired, also.
Where is she getting the creators of these ads? Or maybe she’s writing them herself?
Btw, Rachel reports tonight that the voiceover announcer played “the bad guy” in “Goonies.”

Rachel Maddow said it best: “Run the furry! Run the furry!”
