It’s the political season, and attack ads are everywhere. You’ve probably seen the Nietzsche attack ad, the Kant attack ad, and you may even have seen the third-party candidate Kierkegaard attack ad.
No way can I top those. But nonetheless, I couldn’t resist creating a Ralph Waldo Emerson attack ad (0:58)….
Note: video host blip.tv is defunct, so this video no longer exists.
Oh, and there is also a Thomas Jefferson attack ad.
Oh I laughed out loud when it got to the “Transparent eye” part. That was fun. I hadn’t heard of these attack ads. Gotta go watch the Nietzsche one now!
Sorry to post twice, but just came from watching the Nietzsche ad. Oh, I laughed …. “Emanuel Kant is not a whoremongering idiot.” I count among my favorite books, Nietzsche’s “The Gay Science,” but I still found great humor in this.
Okay, why can’t I find the code to repost this on my blog?
Yay, the vlog is back. Love it. I cracked up.

(too, too funny!)
will @ 3 — Blip.tv changed their software again, and I didn’t notice that there’s no longer a direct link to share videos. I added the link in the text below the video.
Loved the RWE attack ad. How about Thoreau. There’s a subversive for you!
