Thank you, Herman Cain (and campaign manager Mark Block), for your injection of straight up weirdness into the race for the Republican nomination. Hang in there until the 40 second mark. I promise it’s worth it.

  2. If going for the smoker vote is for real then that confirms my
    take on this GOLD DIGGER and his bid for the Presidency! He is
    a money grabber par exellence! His bid is now for the golden egg, the white house paydays as president and substantial 200,000 a month gift from US. Just because he went up thru the
    black movement channels does not qualify him for OUR PRESIDENCY!He has never held an office position I understand and he also
    lost the bid for the Georgia Senate. Put that in your pipe and
    puff! Joker gone wild!

  3. Say goodby to smoke free restaurants. I love no public smoking states.Ok so we know now that Herb will not tax the heck out of cigs,pot,booze. The things that should rise in tax money.

  4. Is he the wrong shade of black or what?

    Obamas the shade we’re supposed to vote for???

    Seriously??

    YOU Democrats will do anything wont you? Say anything? Divide us up over anything?

    WOW.

  5. black white republican democrat whatever they all suck, therefore I shall cast my vote purely on one issue. Whoever can make it happen that I can hear a hostess ask that beautiful question once again “Smoking of non-smoking”

  6. Oh man, The Onion always cracks me up…wait this is Tucson Weekly? So this is a real ad, that somebody came up with, the idea was approved and then funded and directed? A film crew went out and they did more than one take and at no point during any of that did somebody say ‘Hey guys you know what…’ ?

    @GuiseppeKnows – come on now, I know you may not like leftist policies but you can’t really believe that a guy who ran (yes, past tense) a terrible pizza company who has no political experience is qualified for president, his race has nothing to do with his gross incompetence. Also he thinks being gay is a choice…just tossing that out there.

  7. Ending with a creepy slow motion smile really was a nice touch. I get the feeling he’s eyeing my kidneys.
