An Honest Political Ad

This tickled my funny bone...

An Honest Political Ad
Gil Fulbright, fake candidate for the U.S. Senate, offers a refreshingly honest political ad.

"Hi, I'm Gil Fulbright. The people who run my campaign, they've made this commercial -- and I'm in it. This campaign -- it's not about me, it's about crafting a version of me that will appeal to you. A version that visits random worksites with paid actors pointing at things. A version of me that doesn't find old people loathsome or pointless. A version that has a conventionally attractive yet curiously still family."

Were a politician to show that much of a sense of humor and that much honesty they would probably win the election. That's the guy that the "non-voters" will get off their asses and vote for.
