Gay Activist Launches "Hillarious" Commercial
LGBT activist Bob Kunst, head of the group Hillary Now!, described by 365Gay.com as "a constant thorn in the side of the Bush family," has produced a television commercial intended to encourage Hillary Clinton to run for president in 2008.
I think I'd call this ad "Hillarious." Its low production values are completely distracting and utterly juvenile. While I appreciate the message, I can't imagine what they were thinking releasing an ad that makes Clinton out as a garbage truck driver, features Saturday morning cartoon narration, and looks like an outtake from King of the Hill. It did, however, have me coming back for repeat showings, which I guess is a success of some sort.
The ad will run in New Hampshire from today until Thursday.

Kunst is a deranged parasite on the movement and has been for decades. I worked the last month of the anti-Anita Bryant campaign in Miami in '77 (would you believe I was five? please) and Kunst's confrontational "rub sex in their faces until they scream" tactics (he had broken off from the official campaign) definitely helped lose us the election. To think he survived while so many others were lost to the Big A.

I don't think wishing someone Aids is the way we want to go here. I don't know Mr. Kunst but that's a little harsh.
I can't wait to read Cyd's or Boi's reaction.

This is a parody of an ad for Hilary.
