Jon Huntsman: Wins the WACKIEST Ad Award


I must be getting old. For the life of me, I don't get the gist of this Huntsman ad.

Is He running for President?
Endorsing a particular brand of dirt bike?

Does anyone know?
More importantly I suppose, Does anyone Care?

UPDATE!................UPDATE!................UPDATE!

From the LA Times:
Speaking of momentum, Huntsman's campaign Wednesday released a new video geared to drum up excitement in advance of his announcement. The spot shows a man speeding through what appears to be the Utah desert on a motorcycle, a machine that Huntsman has been known to ride from time to time. (It also references the rock band Huntsman played keyboard for in his younger days.)

Except that Huntsman's campaign said it is not, in fact, Huntsman you see riding the bike in the ad. Which makes you wonder exactly what the point is. If Rick Perry does indeed decide to jump in the race soon, will that announcement come with a video of a Cowboy Who Is Not Rick Perry riding across the Texas Panhandle?

HaHaHaHa!!!!

Very... unique. Is that Moab, Utah?

Ha ha. That 6 days from Jon Huntsman stuff is a little over the top, wouldn't you say?

Maybe he was the one we were really waiting for. Ha ha.

ok this borders on the absurd. i mean what does the whole wizard thing have to do with being president? are we supposed to be grateful he didnt get famous with wizard ?

i think he must be aiming at the young voters with this buildup to the announcement ad

Maybe he's saying, like his band, he won't succeed at the presidency either?

I'm assuming, there will be one of these a day until he announces?

Is "in 6 days" some kind of reference to like "God created the world in 6 days" or something.

Totally lost me. I'm having trouble even trying to *imagine* how this relates to anything.
