http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/15/colbert-super-pac-release_n_1207318.htmlfake run for president is nothing without fake attack ads, and "Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC" is wasting no time in getting its hysterical message out to South Carolinians.
In a press release announcing the ad, Jon Stewart spoke about his new role as head of the Super PAC:
Hi again, its me, Jon. When I took over this Super PAC, I had no idea thered be so much email-writing. Also, there are a lot of plants around Super PAC office with extremely specific watering schedules. Seriously, does a Northwood Spotted Fern really need to be watered "thrice fortnightly at dusk"?
Anyway, The Definitely Not Coordinated With Stephen Colbert Super PAC made an ad, and I figured youd want to know. Ive attached the press release below, so hopefully your mouses scroll-wheel isnt broken.

I loved the part at the end where he puts the companies into the chopping machine
the voice is great too, just like those stupid 3am or other scare tactic ones.
They really are good at exposing how lame it all is...

since the great Pat Paulsen, whose "super PAC" was those geniuses known as The Smothers Brothers!

I love the body being dragged out of the datacentre and the beef that's being butchered when the voiceover says something like he slashed jobs.
