Fiorina campaign ad: the greatest commercial ever!

Running for the Barbara Boxer seat for Senate in California, Republican Carly Fiorina's campaign last week released perhaps the greatest commercial ever. And by greatest, I mean worst, and by worst I mean so insanely bad it is beyond hysterical.

Watch:

Wow! That's taking going off of the batshit crazy deep-end with no safety net to a level never seen before. When this first surfaced last week initial reactions were that it had to be a hoax. But the ad was confirmed as genuine. What the hell was Fiorina and her campaign thinking? Seriously, it looks like they gave $40 to a 12 year old heroin addict who then went on an acid binge after watching Sesame Street, to produce it. Firstly, you're going to go with the trite sheep/wolf theme? Really? Hold on, is that a wolf? Or is it just a demonic sheep? It's so hard to tell it is dumbfounding. But the found-in-a-carnival-trash-can wolf/sheep/monkey puppet with Velcro arms & legs my brother had when he was 7 suit with "red piercing eyes" is simply stunning. Did she pay an ad agency to come up with this? I'd love to have been in on that creative meeting. And FCINO? Who the fuck comes up with an acronym that rolls off your tongue like broken glass?

This is truly, astonishingly funny. But in what may become the most expensive senate race in history, such a crazy decision by Fiorina may well be the first in a serious of questions about her judgment along with her illegal sales to Iran, as well as her shocking time as Hewlett-Packard CEO.
