New Herman Cain ad: taxpayers devoured by chickens!

10:44 am - 04/13/2012


After releasing two graphic videos featuring a little girl who seems to kill pets, former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is out with a new installment of his “provocative” Web ads that aim to draw attention to his views on the U.S. tax system.

“This is the average American taxpayer feeding big government,” the same little girl says in the ad as a farmer feeds chickens.

Before long, the chickens attack the farmer until all that’s left of him is a bone.


The bottom of the YouTube video, created by Cain Solutions, reads: “The farmer is fine, but the average American taxpayer isn’t!”

Cain, 66, released a Web video last month showing a man shooting a rabbit that is catapulted into the air, while the girl says, “This is small business under the current tax code.”
In another ad, the girl says, “This is the economy on the stimulus,” as a goldfish gasps for air on dry land. Cain and his team have insisted that no animals were harmed in the production of the videos.

In a conference call Tuesday night with reporters, Cain said the ads are intended to be provocative and garner attention, according to the Daily Caller .

“If I went out there with namby-pamby ads to drive home a point, nobody would notice,” he said, adding that he blames liberals for the controversy surrounding the videos.

“The liberals are trying to paint this as I’m killing animals,” he said. “I point out to them that the goldfish is still alive. We didn’t kill the goldfish.”

As for the rabbit? It was not real, Cain said.

Despite the swirling controversy, Cain promised Tuesday to continue making Web ads to criticize economic issues. But only time will tell whether they include more animals, real or fake.

lol Herman Cain, he was easily the most lulzy candidate in the 2012 GOP primaries. And that's not a statement I make lightly.
babysinclair 13th-Apr-2012 04:03 pm (UTC)
They are all lulzy in their own way, but he was memorable ia.

What the actual fuck is this?
keeperofthekeys 13th-Apr-2012 03:59 pm (UTC)
csb, but his tour bus was parked right next to the building I work in a few weeks ago, because apparently he was speaking. I walked outside and I was like, wat. It's the most ridiculous thing ever

Yeah, GET OFF THE FREEWAY YOU LOON.
doverz 13th-Apr-2012 07:30 pm (UTC)
LOL at the 999. Seriously, whenever I cashier, I hope that people will have their order be $9.99 so I can go "9-9-9."

I wish to all the gods that aren't that Auto-Tune the News was still around to take a whack at Herman Cain.

Joining you, sweet christ
mingemonster 13th-Apr-2012 05:16 pm (UTC)
so the average american taxpayer is the most incompetent farmer ever?

that's what i took away from this, anyway
nitasee 13th-Apr-2012 05:24 pm (UTC)
I'm picturing Sheldon Cooper nodding in agreement about the traumatic horror that chickens bring. Who else would looks at this and not go WTF?
deathchibi 13th-Apr-2012 05:28 pm (UTC)
I hope he didn't torture or kill those animals to make the commercials, I really do. :/ Poor goldfish and chickens and rabbits.

Also, the Zelda joke made me laugh. My sister told me about the cuckoos, but I didn't believe her. So I was like *pokepokepokeslash* And the cuckoos took their revenge. D:

I was doubting that this was going to be as epically awesome (inspiring awe at how bad it is) as the catapult bunny ad was, but this one is better (worse). Cain, thank you for being the gift that keeps on giving after you dropped out of the race.

The amount of depth and suspense in this scene is unbelievable.

Have you seen the Rifftrax version of this move? I highly recommend watching. :)

Mike: ...we're gonna make this look good in post, right?

Kevin: What the hell is "post"? Keep flailing!

First thing that sprung to mind with the catapulting rabbit?

mermaid88 13th-Apr-2012 08:34 pm (UTC)
If nothing else, I wonder what PETA had to say about this ad...
mskye 13th-Apr-2012 08:46 pm (UTC)
Aw, we shouldn't laugh at Herman Cain. He just really wants to be the very best. That no one ever was.
