    Common sense will tell you that's it's a joke.

    When you say "it", what exactly are you talking about?

    The content of the ad, the smoking, and the weird smile by Cain should tell you something.

    I just read on Yahoo that the ad probably is real. If Cain authorized this ad he is a idiot.

    I doubt this is a real, authorized ad. The amateurish cinematography is the big giveaway, the editing looks like it was done by a dog and that drag on the cigarette[?] is a dead giveaway.

    I'm so disapointed; there should have been a pizza bug in the lower left corner of the screen. :mrgreen:

    It's bizarre. It goes out of the way to basically say nothing and that smile by Cain is creepy.

    Good lord that is a horrible ad. I really hope it never airs on TV. That would singlehandeldly destroy him. The cheesy music and the creepy smile at the end was a bit over the top as well.

    Actually, its brilliant. It appeals to the average Joe. No bells and whistles by actors. No huge, costly production. Just a real guy talking about another real guy. Most Americans are sick and tired of flash and glitz. Yep, this ad will appeal to the middle American person. Cain needs to win them. Looks like he is doing a good job.

    no, it really isn't very good - why? because it doesn't really say anything.

    Its a cheerleader ad. They are effective when used with others.

    Poe's Law applies to Cain and the Tea Party in general.

    Remember this is the guy who gets his economic theory from the Sims. You can't parody lunacy at that level.

    sorry, I didn't feel cheered or perked when I saw the ad - I just wondered what point it was making. is it an prosmoker in your face ad? I am afraid that the ad contributes to a general feeling that Cain is out of his depth.

    Why not? Obama got his economic theory from Marx and look what that did to the country.

    What? You seem incoherent.

    Only in Tea Party bizarro world is Obama a marxist. I love this meme!

    Keep it up so America can see just how whacky you tea party losers are.

    BWHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH!

    Poe's Law. If you tried to parody the lunacy of the Cain campaign, you couldn't have come up with anything more bizarre.

    From under what rocks do these subliterate Baggers emerge?

    It's like an X-file Episode with the Smoking Man.

    Hahaha, I thought the same thing.

    I just don't get this ad. I salute him for actually showing a smoker in todays age where its "in" to hate people who use this legal product,( if it is indeed an actual ad from Cain)....but I still do not get it.
