Possibly the lamest ad ever

Liberal group "Campaign for America's Future" has released a Web ad showing a guy in a proctologist's office with an action figure stuck up his ass. He tells the doctor that his kid must have left the toy on a chair (notice the guy hesitates as he's telling this, as though he's making it up - I also find the guy's delivery a bit gay, but perhaps that's me). I'm told there's a Seinfeld episode that's similar to this. To me, it looks like a reference to gerbil stuffing, and strikes me as kind of homophobic, to say the least. Regardless, action figures stuck up a guy's ass? This is the best we've got for arguing why Congress should provide "quality healthcare to all." Jesus. I'm all for organizations on the left getting edgier - God knows our side is far too coy about everything. But seriously, butt fucking action figure jokes. Are they kidding? You guys too cheap to hire a professional to make your videos? Don't get me wrong. Edgy is great. But Campaign for America's Future has done what most liberals do when they try to get "edgy," they screw it up so badly that they'll never have the nerve to be edgy again. Watch the ad for yourself. Am I overreacting or is this just pathetic (and offensive to boot)?
