Barack Obama has a new ad called “Dignity,” and it is all about what a candidate loses in the process of running for President. Ha ha, just kidding! But the part in the end where he strangles the old lady is pretty undignified. [YouTube]

• UNACCEPTABLE WONKETTE AD NOTED, REMOVED: Argh, so we go out to dinner and come back to see the former nice Obama T-shirts ad “updated” with Barack Obama as a monkey. Sweet. Ad is deleted. Thanks for letting us know. UPDATE: All the ads are gone now, as we can’t get that one ad to vanish. All fixed @ 2:37 a.m.

Remember when those nuts on the right, Michelle Malkin and Charles Johnson, condemned beloved fast food bakery Dunkin’ Donuts for letting teevee chef Rachael Ray wear a Palestinian scarf in this ad? Dunkin’ Donuts first released a statement saying that no, it was not the Palestinian kaffiyeh design at all, just paisley, and a SCARF. Despite being categorically incorrect, the wingnuts have somehow “won” and Dunkin’ Donuts will pull the ad due to the “possibility of misperception.” Jesus. [Boston Globe]

It’s never too early to do a little Christmas shopping for your worst enemies, especially when the “shopping” is free! Send the people you hate a shitty poster of these beloved “conservative women” bloggers. Ha ha it’s funny because wingnuts are always complaining about “loose women” or whatever. Choose from Ann Coulter smoking on the balcony, Michele Malkin in the woods with a liberal computer, or Keith Richards. (PS — Don’t really do this because the “free” posters actually cost $7. Just print up a few at work. Use all the color cartridges. After all, you’ll be giving them to the people you hate most: the people you work for.) [Free "Luce Lady" Posters]

Now that Hillary’s on her last leg, again, what new pro-Hillary 527s will form to release silly ads attacking Barack Obama? One of these — the newly minted “American Leadership Project” — incorporated with the IRS on February 15. According to ABC News, white men in Ohio will be a focus, “and if there are any excess funds Latinos in Texas and middle class families in Pennsylvania will also be targeted.” Anyone else smell a race-baiting ad that will ultimately damage the party but will still be funny forever? After the jump, check out ALP’s first ad. It’s a timid start, but they’ll get there. MORE »

People on the road and in hotels for Thanksgiving tomorrow are sure to check out USA Today en masse, because that’s just what you do when you’re on the road. As they happily skim through the usual 50-word pieces about new breast cancer research (and 10 billion accompanying pie charts), a full page ad of unusual arrogance, misplaced enthusiasm and opaque references to our Founding Fathers will get in their way. That’s right: The Paultard virus has somehow affected the printing presses of USA Today and will insert a full-page ad (PDF) into tomorrow’s edition. Discuss.

Rudy Giuliani has yet to run even one television ad. Strange, right? Well, the wait is over. Today, the Giuliani campaign unleashed his lisping, New Yawk accent on the American People. And guess what? Not one reference to 9/11! But he did sort of hint at it. Actually… those two white columns in the background over his right shoulder do sorta look like the WTC towers. Hmmm. Hey! Don’t play your subliminal games with me, Rudy. Oh, it’s on! And BTW? Soft lighting can’t conceal your creepy smile. You smiling is unnatural. So, please, don’t do it. Ever. Thanks.

Military officials have contracted out to the Galactic Empire for new blasters, heat-seeking ones that might dig up those sand pirates once and for all. Well, not exactly, but military officials did offer the following yesterday: “An oversized ray gun could be deployed to Iraq early next year.” Gloyvin! Ray guns and the Iraq what with all the lasers…. MORE »

Most DC residents think of the International Spy Museum as either that place where my nieces and nephews go while I’m taking a break from their visit, or the expensive one. The museum, perhaps chastened by its you know — for kids! reputation, has launched a sexy, not-at-all-exploitive new ad campaign (shown above, shot yesterday at the Farragut North Metro station) to let everybody know that they’ve got hos, babes, and naughty secrets as well! And that hot thing in the ad? She’s totally a spy! I bet! Bitch set me up!
