I get such a kick out of old,weird advertisements. I can't even remember where I found this link, but man is it good for hours of fun. This self-carving pig ad is probably the least bizarre and offensive one of the group, which includes an ad for Heroin, a Marlboro ad featuring a baby, an ad for "Vibra Finger" (just what it sounds like) that purports to be intended for gum massage, and one that promotes Thorazine as a way to manage "senile agitation." Great stuff.

Well, my comment doesn't fit here at all but what the hell. Just read this in a longish thread at Atrios:
This is why you idiots can't win an election. Tone deaf, morally bereft, and so deranged by your feelings about Bush that you'll fall for any murderous asshole with something negative to say about your president.
I wanted to thank you for nailing it. Perfectly said, Mikey.
/s/An admiring fan.
It wasn't at Atrios... it was Matthew Yglesias. The comment was still brilliant.
Very kind of you, sir. And thanks for dropping in . . .
Not a problem. It was just nice to see someone cutting through that thread like a hot knife through butter. A certain faction of leftists will identify with Ahmajinedad's insanity simply as a function of blinding Bush hatred. Stylistically, I liked the triplet: "tone deft", "morally bereft, and "deranged." Great stuff.
You were 'deft'. They're 'deaf'. I'll slow down next time....
