Yesterday, while listening to NPR, I heard an audio snippet of this Rick Perry video. Nothing more than pandering to an entrenched, alienated, uncompromising core of disaffected religious nuts, I thought.
This morning, while reading some of my tech articles, I was once again pointed to this widely discussed Rick Perry video. As you can see above, after watching the 30 second spot in its entirety, my response is very much anti-Rick-Perry’s-Message. Fortunately, 672,699 people feel the same way… actually, it’s now 672,853 people, and growing.
And because a dislike can only go so far, there are also a growing number of “Perrodies” too. Here’s one I like. This will make you laugh.
Yet despite the overwhelming dislike of Rick Perry’s outrageous campaign ad(s), the fact that it exists AND it has percolated up into the presidential election ad wars of 2011/2012 is still disturbing. Oh democracy, how I love your presidential campaign cycles.
