I have to give credit to the Potted Plant, aka Mike Gravel, he certainly is DIFFERENT. In fact, Gravel has produced perhaps the most BIZARRE campaign ad VIDEO ever which can best be described as Andy Kaufman meets the Mad Hatter. So strange is Gravel's campaign video that even the DUmmies are ASKING, "is Mike Gravel on acid?" Gravel's campaign ad certainly has had an impact since it has already inspired a PARODY AD from another candidate. Personally, I am seeing a great future for this Mike Gravel ad in the form of commercial parodies as well. So let us now watch the DUmmies go along on an acid trip with presidential candidate Mike Gravel in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if that rock that he dropped was laced with acid, is in the [brackets]:
is Mike Gravel on acid?
[Like most other DUmmies...]
what's with that video of his - where he stares into the camera for about 2 minutes,, then goes and throws a rock into a lake, and then walks away,,,and keeps walking and keeps walking .......and walking ....into the void, ........has he resurrected Timothy Leary to run his campaign?
[Turn out, tune in, drop out...of the campaign.]
is this guy off his nut or what? seems like the same kind of thing any college freshman with a video cam who thinks they are making some deep existentialist statement would do
[For a DUmmie this was a profound statement chock full of meaning that only the looney left can see.]
I realize that a picture is worth a thousand words...but how many times can one say 'WTF"?
[Maybe it was 8 1/2 Fellini discounted down to 7 1/2.]
Mike Gravel's dead ... No, no no no, he's outside looking in
[Mike Gravel was having an out of mind experience.]
maybe he's flying his astral plane taking trips around the brain
[In our astral plane, Up is the opposite of Down but in Mike Gravel's astral plane, Up is 3 miles east of Philadelphia.]
Seriously, Gravel lost most of us up in AK when he came out for putting a dome over the state.
[A dome over the entire state of Alaska? Hey, that seems reasonable to me.]
Gravel is telling us to sit quietly for a period ....of six or seven minutes and listen to nature, listen to the gifts and the blessings we have. Move ourselves away from the chaos, distractions and the insanity for a while. There the answers will come and we will then know the right things we must do.
[And here I thought all along that it was a plea to empty his bowels in a timely manner.]
I guess I picked the wrong time to stop smoking dope.
[But the right time to take up dropping acid.]
it's refreshing to see a political candidate for high office "stop to smell the flowers". it's refreshing to hear a message that we should just stop, and think, and listen ... we could use a whole lot more of that in our political campaigns and a whole lot less of marketing-scripted, finger-in-the-air campaign slogans ...
[Also frightening.]
Gravel has actually said that the big budget advertising by candidates only confuse and dumb down the voters on the important issues. So these ads at least stay within his principles. I like them
[Crazy campaign ads are FUn to watch!]
I myself believe he's the Lizard King--he can do ANYTHING!
[You're confusing me. I thought Mike Gravel was the Potted Plant.]
He definitely broke on through to the other side
[He broke on through to the other side of of Ward B of the asylum.]
Hey, at least he is entertaining
[Better than an Andy Kaufman shtick.]
but somehow I just can't see Hillary Clinton or Rudy Guill,,Jooli,,,Gil...Whatever (too lazy to spell check), making that video it takes a special kind of crazy to make a campaign video as off the wall as that one..... maybe he's running for President of Bizzaro World
[I can see Ron Paul making that video since he is also running for President of Bizzaro World.]
His other ad is even weirder — and almost 8 minutes long!
just saw it 8 minutes of watching a campfire............is he trying to get an endorsement from Smokey the Bear?
[I dunno. I fell asleep 3 minutes into it.]
I love Gravel, he makes virtually every other candidate look moderate. He's mowed a huge field far to the left leaving an enormous amount of room for the other candidates to play in.
[...With their butterfly nets.]
Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.
2!!!!!
PING!
Top 5
WOW 10!
is it a rhetorical question?
top 10
He stares into the camera for a minute, throws a rock into the stream and walks away.
After a minute, he is gone and the ripples from the rock have subsided.
Ergo, he means "I may get your attention for now, but after a while, I will be out of sight and no one will remember the little impact I tried to make."
He doesn't realize how right he is . . . . . . . .
top 10!!!
I love the Airplane! reference!
When he’s almost out of sight, does he throw another rock into the pond? Not that I particularly care and I certainly don’t care enough to watch it again.
Drat, late again. Oh well, top 20 anyway
To quote Salvador Dali: “I do not need drugs. I AM drugs.”
Well taken from someone already there in their parallel universe.
That's nothing. Al Gore Junior made a campaign ad long enough to qualify for a feature film nomination from The Academy.
maybe he's flying his astral plane taking trips around the brain
Oh jeez, I haven't seen nor heard that word (astral) in over 30 years.
Astral Projection was kind of an 'in thing'. I was into it and one night it was working - scared the Hell out of me.
I also had an older cousin who had a nervous breakdown. She said one person in the nut-house literally lost her mind doing Astral Projection (which is a 'known' side effect if something goes wrong). She told me stopping screwing around with it.
As he’s walking away out of sight, another person enters the shoreline from the right of the screen and follows. I wonder if that was a mugger?
Acid road trip top 20.
For someone freaked out on drugs, perhaps. But for me, it's the same as watching paint dry.
Something tells me that he has been kidnapped by aliens for the sole purpose of giving him an intergalactic colonoscopy. The space perverts can have this one.
