Carlyfornia?

I swear that I have an actual, real blog entry that I've been working on, but this was too good not to write an entry about.

Carly Fiorina (Republican California Senate candidate of "Carlyfornia" slogan fame infamy) has recently released this attack ad on fellow Republican candidate Tom Campbell. Since I will not be voting for either of them I normally would not care less, but it is actually one of the most hysterical and simultaneously terrifying things I have seen in a very long time. It's going to haunt my dreams. For a while, I thought it was a joke; I'm still not completely convinced it isn't. Just, please. Watch it. If you can't stomach the whole 3:21 minutes of this atrocity, the choice bits can be found at:

0:15-0:30
2:20-2:55 (no, seriously, you have to watch this part)

The sheep. The pigs. The lightning! I honestly cannot get over it. The clip of the sheep chewing, run on loop and fast-forward. The sheep, with the demon eyes. This is real life, she's an actual Senate candidate. And FCINO? Worst acronym ever. They're supposed to be short and clever and easy to say - all I've come up with is "fuh-kee-no" or possibly "fuh-see-no." What the hell, lady.

Caveat: As I said, I am still not 100% convinced this whole thing isn't an elaborate prank. If it is, please god somebody tell me.

Edit (2/5/2010): It appears that this video is not a joke. Check out fcino.com, where you can report your own, real-life sighting of a demon sheep! My only question is whether or not people actually survive close encounters with those creepy red eyes; I feel like they might just suck out your soul, or something.

Edit, part II: The San Francisco Chronicle has confirmed that it was not, actually, a joke. Also, "FCINO" is apparently pronounced "fuh-see-no" - I guess the other option is too close to the word "fuck." Go figure.

Oh, California. I feel like we couldn't make this shit up if we tried.
