Best/Worst Campaign Ad Ever – Carly Fiorina’s Laser Sheep
By Cole Gamble
The sheep, oh the sheep. Especially the one with the laser eyes. What is happening in this spot? It looks like someone dropped Photoshop on it’s head at birth, rubbed Ecstasy into it’s eyes everyday and forced it to live in a fecal-caked cage until adulthood. Oh, and then added laser sheep. Who are the sheep? Are we the sheep. This ad gives me the strong impression I’m supposed to kill sheep. First one who correctly guesses what this ad is about gets my pristine collection of vintage Peanuts cartoons collectible glasses from McDonald’s. Or you get to slap my ass. The choice is yours. (P.S. the political ad is for a woman who used to run Hewlett Packard!)
It begins with falling sheep, but the real money shot is at 2:22.
Bonus question: the ad says, “leaving him only one way to fall.” Is there another way to fall? You could fall sideways but I think that’s called “flying.”
