After success of 'Demon Sheep' ad, Fiorina's new ad slams Barbara Boxer
After success of 'Demon Sheep' ad, Fiorina's new ad slams Barbara Boxer



Fred Davis, the quirky GOP ad man who morphed Barack Obama into Paris Hilton and Tom Campbell into a demon sheep, on Saturday introduced another victim.

Meet Sen. Barbara Boxer, the evil, full-of-hot-air blimp.

The nearly eight-minute demon blimp ad, which immediately went viral on YouTube, was unveiled Saturday at the California Republican Party's convention in Santa Clara. It's the latest Internet commercial from the campaign of U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, whose first ad portrayed Tom Campbell as a evil-eyed sheep, "fiscal conservative in name only."

The anti-Boxer ad created the steamiest buzz at the three-day convention, easily the glitziest, most stage-managed convention in the state
Republican Party's history, largely because of the millions being thrown into the campaigns of mostly self-funded candidates such as Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, and Meg Whitman, the billionaire ex-CEO of eBay running for governor.

At a luncheon featuring Fiorina, the lights were turned low and the ad began playing on a huge screen.

While the Mercury story does mention that the "demon sheep" ad went viral, it omits any mention of the fact that it went viral because it was so jaw-droppingly stupid. If the "quirky" Fred West is authoring another ad, the chances are that it's similarly an insult to anyone out of diapers (that is to say, the very young, the very old and David Vitter).
