Some of you might remember that the Minneapolis mayoral race was deeply weird this year. There was a dude who legally changed his name to Captain Jack Sparrow AND was not the only pirate-themed candidate. There was a lady who did an ad dressed in Saran Wrap, and then there was the magnificent Jeff Wagner.
Wagner did one ad where he simulated masturbation (which he sadly later pulled from YouTube) as some sort of extended political metaphor that no one understood. He did a concession video mere minutes after the polls closed that told everyone to fuck off, but also that he "created a fucking brand."
Wagner's real tour de force, though, was his inaugural ad where he walked out of one of Minneapolis' many beautiful lakes, wearing only underwear, drinking a cup of coffee, and vowing not to go to strip clubs any more.
And he didn't win.
No way "Demon Sheep" can be considered the worst political ad. It was freaking hysterical. The best thing to come out of that whole cluster-fuck of a campaign season.
