Here's a strong entrant in the funniest political commercial category, the latest from Reform candidate Max Linn. It is a smartly made cartoon that riffs on Florida's controversial FCAT test. A white students asks why he flunked the test with 52 questions right when his classmate — clearly Hispanic — passed with 52 questions right. The evil FCATman answers that he got the wrong questions wrong and points to a testing machine with the name Diebold clearly evident (a snide attack that also plays to the black box voting gang, who hate the touch-screen manufacturer).
Of course, a cartoon Max Linn busts through the walls of the school to save the day, destroying the Dieblod machine with lasers from his eyes. Linn then dispatches FCATman and asks why Florida doesn't simply put more money into its struggling public schools instead of giving it away in vouchers.
The ad was created by a progressive media consultant out of San Francisco, Bad Monkey Studios, which has done work for Dean for American and Greenpeace. You can see it here.
