OH, CANADA If youre running for office, its reasonable to desire a campaign ad that stands out from the white noise of formulaic and traditional campaign ads.
Youre looking for that hook, that extra special line or visual, that will make people stop and take a second look. Maybe unsurprisingly, some candidates take that special hook too far and turn the corner into bizarre territory. The attack ads become awkward hyperbole, and the I will fight for you ads become overzealous juggernauts.
To be clear, I am not saying any of these ads are bad ideas; if nothing else it give us Internet frequenters something to talk about at our collective water coolers.
Maybe thats why people are all a buzz with a new ad from independant candidate Wyatt Scott, who is running for parliament in the Mission-Matsqui-Fraser-Canyon district in British Columbia. Scott takes his video to an epic level with visuals that include riding a goose, dragon slaying with a broad sword, defeating killer robots and much more.
This is the best way I can describe it: Hes got the growling enthusiasm of an announcer at a monster truck rally who is really into spreading the word about important political issues. Youll just have to watch it to get the full effect.
Out of all the Canadians I know, I reached out to the one that I thought would answer first with a comment. My cousins wife had this to say about the ad: I think it's hilarious, good for him. We get all kinds of people running. He might not be that bad!
