Hilarious Fiorina ‘Demon Sheep’ Follow Up

Posted on | March 13, 2010 | 10 Comments

I don’t know how much money/chemicals went into this:

Titled, “Hot Air,” the ad’s messaging and imagery is hardly subtle. There is the Hitchcock-inspired shot of the Capitol building with menacing birds swarming around it; the images of Boxer as a young pol, enjoying the “warm bask of attention”; the California Democrat’s head expanding to ungodly proportions, bursting the Capitol dome into pieces; and then a talking Boxer blimp casting a shadow over her home state until it’s punctured by a needle and falls like a bomb into the Pacific. There is even a gratuitous scene of fingernails scratching against a chalkboard — which Davis likely included because actually calling Boxer shrill on camera would have be too outrageous and controversial.

It seemed to recall Boorman more than Hitchcock, but YMMV:

Update: Big Government has more.

    OK, sure, the Boxer-head Blimp is disturbing, but not nearly as disturbing as the fact that, when they showed that very first young-Boxer picture, just for a split second, my Brain thought, “Hey, she’s kinda cute!” Ewwwwwwwwww!! Now I’m going to have to wash my Brain out with soap. Stupid Brain!! Please tell me I’m not the only one, my Brain will feel better.

    As much as I would like to see Barbara Bouncer “bounced”, the ad should have been a lot shorter and to the point. Maybe broken up into several different ads.

    Proof, I believe it may be tightened and sharpened for TV. This looks like a proof of concept that could be tested on the net and then refined for TV.

    I hope that they are getting litos of thumbs up at the Fiorina campaign, and that Babs’ is squealing like a pig.
