Politics: Three political ads nearly as weird as Carly Fiorina’s Demon Sheep

  • Organ harvesting fun! Political ads as weird as Carly Fiorina’s are surprisingly easy to come by, apparently. Some coroner in the New Orleans area released this doozy of an ad that, unlike Fiorina’s masterwork, was fairly well-done. (Hat tip MHTE)

  • Mop-top message This wonderful ad, by Demon Sheep mastermind Fred Davis, reimagines Rod Blagojevich’s hair as a disease that has infected the Illinois state capital and the citizens of Springfield. It’s mind-numbingly effective.

  • The Ox Vs. The Rat In Georgia, conservatives compare liberals to rats. Roy Barnes, the former Georgia governor running for reelection in 2010, is portrayed as a rat in this ad. John Oxendine is portrayed as an ox. The ox kicks a lot of rat ass at the end of this clip.

Culture: Michael Jackson’s death a homicide: The news cycle explodes again.

  • The L.A. Coroner’s office says Michael Jackson (who still hasn’t been buried yet) was given a lethal dose of propofol, which he was taking to help him sleep. source
  • Considering that his daughter, Paris, didn’t inject her dad with a huge dose of a powerful sedative, Dr. Conrad Murray is probably the main suspect. source
