OMFG... I soooo want 5:00 to arrive early so I can go home and watch that ad again stoned!

I am so incredibly glad I was high when I clicked on this.

I love that the first shot in the 721-year-old candidate's ad is a shot of heaven with the words "The Time Has Come."

Message - A vote for McCain is a vote for our nation's capital being bombed into smoking ruin. But later, we get the guys who did it. Yay!

nice ad - shows why he'll flounce hillary in the general, complete with obligatory little girl in a field of flowers! without snark, i'm surprised that they didn't have a fetus floating in an amniotic sac after they showed the nebula in space.

I would have sworn that McCain would have chosen more of a 'Paths of Glory/Full Metal Jacket' homage.

What other notable figures come to mind when we think of Juan McCain and his political past? Not TR, not Churchill. Maybe this guy:

"We're Americans and we'll never surrender (but thank god we did in Vietnam otherwise I'd still be there)"

Fun Fact: Winston Churchill and John McCain served together in the Bengal Lancers.

@sezme:
But we didn't surrender. We declared victory and left... which is what we'll probably end up doing in Iraq, too.

What the fuck was that?

McCainisqatsi! I'm still waiting for the Clinton ad based on "2 or 3 Things I Know About Her".

There's something wrong with the link- I just saw some scientology recruitment video with poorly cut in clips of Walnuts' home movies...
Where's the real clip?

I feel like I just took a trip on Spaceship Earth at Disney world (the giant golf ball shaped thing in Epcot), though I will say the animatronics were not nearly as good...

Haha, yeah he's soooo right wing. Anyways anyone hungry?

I would so hit Cindy McCain.

@Garrison Dean:
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!

What a winner! Reminds us he's as old as Teddy Roosevelt and Winston Churchill (if they were still living), but don't worry, because see, his mom probably knew those guys. Reminds us that we didn't surrender in Vietnam (whew, where did all my childhood history books come up with the contrary view?). Reminds us that (did I see this wrong?) he smoked in Vietman, just like Barry does. And harkens back to Truman's fear-mongering girl with a flower ad. But if you put floaty music behind it all, with lots of clouds, it really does seem all better, like a sweet dream...

@Plague: So is America... Good people, who don't give up, WHO FIGHT FOR A NEW AMERICA!! RAARRRRR

Happy monday Plague.

oops i meant this one:

John McCain was a POW during the Spanish_American War?

It's a tribute to old white guys. John McCain, he's just another old white guy.

McCain's great-great-granddaughter was very effective in that Daisy-Girl ad.

Written, produced, directed and principal photography by Mike Gravel.

@Serolf Divad: Yeah, like you work.

I heard about this! It's a pilot for a new show on the sci-fi channel, where Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, and John McCain fly around the galaxy looking for wars to fight.

You know how "The Wizard of Oz" works with "The Wall"?
Well, as soon as the first words start to fade in, start "My Humps" (BEP version). Wow! what a trip.

I love it:

Step one: The Big Bang
Step two: The first Stars and Galaxies coalesce from the primordial soup of the
early universe.
Step three: John McCain is born from the ashes of the greatest explosion this universe has seen.
Step four. Wait 4.5 billion years for Earth to form.

We get it, John, you've waiting a long time to be president.

It's nice to know that the dwindling money of the McCain campaign went to hire Phillip Glass.

Well, Winston Churchill, arch-Imperialist that he was, is certainly the man most responsible for the fucked-up, modern Middle-East as it exists today. Something to contemplate.

I sure hope the walnuts! in space tag gets more action.

It would be cooler if John McCain was half space-alien or something...

totally amazing. i like how it reminds people that teddy roosevelt, john mccain, and winston churchill were practically boarding school chums. the future is so fast and blurry, thank the monolith that space alien mccain survived since the dawn of time and through water torture to save america from the coming doom.

@Eac_o_System: We have Eliot Spitzer as the alien/human hybrid. Don't worry about it.

@BluntObjects: Yes. John McCain was such a great soldier that he graduated at the bottom of his class and then immediately got caught by the Spanish, who made him their bitch and slapped him around for like, 7 months or so.

Good soldiers die fighting. Great soldiers fail to fight!

Segue from girl/flower scenes, right into this:

At 3AM, who do you want to be attending the "football"?

Experience not aspirations! And yet this attempt to mack on Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt made me aspirate, in the medical sense.

@McDano: Dark Side of the Moon. Which also would be appropriate for this ad.

Nice attempt at building suspense at the beginning, but it'll take more than some tinkling piano to reclaim that Churchill quote from Iron Maiden's "Aces High."
