US presidenial campaign adverts: we’ve seen cheesy, we’ve seen silly, we’ve seen OTT and we’ve even seen funny, but we’ve never seen this:
Herman Cain, the first post-post-post-modern candidate?
[UPDATE: The Herman Cain campaign has confirmed to CBS news that the ad is real and not a hoax. Oh dear!]

This is amazing, and it appears to be real (unless someone’s hacked into his YouTube channel…) We need more political campaigns like this. I’ll take distressingly avant-garde over bland any day of the week.

Why is he smoking at the end?! That is so weird!
I think you’ll find the Honours for the most ‘pomo’ candidate ever go to Mike Gravel’s frankly arthouse campaign in 2007-2008. ‘Rock’ is sublime. http://youtu.be/0rZdAB4V_j8/
Alternatively you could go for mike huckabee’s campaign with Chuck Norris http://youtu.be/MDUQW8LUMs8 from the same era
