Couch slander, now a campaign ad (NSFW)
It started with a baseless rumour on social media about J.D. Vance that went viral, and then made news headlines.
Things escalated when John Oliver chimed in, offering ‘reasons’ for the widespread interest, as well as his own personal take.
Somewhere along the line, the Democrats first made veiled references, then Tim Walz saw an opportunity to dish out a sly one-liner on the campaign trail.
Which brings me to this campaign ad—an expletive-laced promotion for a spoof product, that is the brainchild of creative agency Quality Meats. In contrast to the tongue-in-cheek humour of everything before it, this is a lot more direct and in-your-face.
