Here's proof, if proof were needed, that the McCain campaign's advertising strategy is in fact being run by a crack team of six-year-olds, out of their minds on Sunny Delight. Yesterday they released a new ad, Fan Club, which continued to mock Barack Obama as a celebrity, this time on account of his "dreamy eyes". It included a brief clip of Mike Myers and Dana Carvey in Wayne's World ("We're not worthy!") -- but Myers objected, claiming copyright violation, and the ad was reissued without the clip. But wait for it: in this killer response, headlined Celebrities Fight Back, a McCain spokesman explains why Myers's objection just proves the point they were making all along:
"Obama's celebrity friends are bringing their considerable resources to bear in this election... threatening this campaign with legal action over our latest ad, Fan Club... Apparently, we are not, in fact, worthy."
Get it? No, seriously, do you see the incredibly clever jujitsu move they just executed there? One can only imagine the sheer humiliation of so-called "comedian" Mike Myers this morning as he realises what a terrible error he made in deciding to tangle with the superior comedic talents of Team McCain. Idiot. [JohnMcCain.com]
