Jim Bender Misses the Mark With Anti-Obesity Campaign Ads

by Lauri Apple


New Hampshire U.S. Senate candidate and seasoned sole-barer Jim Bender has released yet another new campaign ad! In this one, a lady law enforcer stops Uncle Sam for driving his convertible full of hefty ObamaLaws (and a little abused animal-pig named Earmark) too slowly, then Bender shows up and says HEYO.

It’s so-so, but can’t compare to Uncle Sam’s appearance in this ad, titled “Yum! Yum!,” in which he gorges himself on cakes shaped like banks, cars, and other symbols of America’s greatness, all Real American-style.

The problem with Bender’s ads is that they assert anti-Real American values: Walking = good, but eating shit-tons of sugar cake and getting it all over your fattening face = bad. This is not very likely to resonate with voters, most of whom believe the opposite. [YouTube]

Oh those poor little banks, so powerless, so unable to defend themselves from the big horrible government, when they’ve done nothing wrong to the average American or to hurt the economy. Who will defend our megabanks?

And uh, why can’t we (except for Mild Midwesterner) comment on Ken’s crime post below?

David Lynch called and said this was fucked up.

Lauri, I think we’ve already been served a piece of this gross cake by you guys:

Why do Republican ads make me feel like I’m dosing? Really. Old school LSD style.

MMMMMMM! GIANT SAM HUNGRY!

That’s not food on Uncle Sam’s face from private enterprises he’s devoured, it’s corporate jizz.

Yes, taking back student loans from the banks who gouge students is a horrible idea.

Needs more pork butt. Smoked, if possible, but I’ll take slow roasted over indirect fire.

Some C+ Dartmouth political science graduate had a dream, and this was the dream. Congratulations, fucktard. You’ve taken one of those stupid op-ed cartoons where everything has to get labeled because it doesn’t make any sense otherwise, and made it even dumber through live action. Next time use 3-D. You have destroyed art. Dada.

Bender? Instead of Augustus Glump eating cake they should have gone with Uncle Sam there chugging corn mash out of a big jug with XXX on the label.. Then finish with “Hi, as soon as this Bender’s in the Senate, Uncle Sam’s Bender with your cash is Hiss-Tow-Ree”

I’m Don fuckin’ Drapper I swear.

Needs to be grosser if you want to hit the 17-year-old boy demographic.

You can wear a fake beard and a goofy hat, but we still know it’s you Governor Christie!

His future robot offspring will display the same level of character and intelligence.

I am learning how to play a fife. I believe this skill will be in great demand as our true red-white-and-blue Murikuns begin their campaigns for office this fall. Then, I will be in even greater demand as they celebrate their coast-to-coast victories over them socialist nazi people who are ruinin’ our wunderful cuntry. Of course, I don’t expect to pay a dime in taxes for all of the money I will surely rake in as a patriot fifer extraordinnaire!

Alfonsito August 12, 2010 at 11:38 am

Now they are attacking Uncle Sam! Next Obama, not wanting to seem Muslin or even a stiff duck or canvas, will have to also attack Uncle Sam! Terrible Uncle Sam! True patriots should all hate Uncle Sam, the fatty!

Hmmm. Where have I read that before?

Mr Blifil August 12, 2010 at 1:38 pm

Haha except the only jobs currently in existence are federal government jobs or jobs associated with companies that thrive on huge government contracts (esp. Predator drone type deals). So good luck repealing the New Deal just in time for the unemployed to rise up and kill capitalism for realz.
