YouTube Labels Herman Cain’s New Rabbit-Killing Ad A Deceptive Scam
Herman Cain‘s latest ad features a bunny rabbit, a little girl, a man, and a shotgun. The girl pats the rabbit, and says, “This is small business.” Then the rabbit is catapulted into the air as the little girl — who certainly seems to have some anger issues — says, “This is small business under the current tax code.” She then repeatedly asks, “Any questions?”
This is sick. This is disgusting. This is vile.
But you won’t be able to watch it any longer because mere hours after the Cain camp posted it, YouTube killed it. If you try to play the video, below, you’ll see a notice that reads, “This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube’s policy against spam, scams, and commercially deceptive content.”
(UPDATE: Video is back up, but was down, as BuzzFeed noted also.)
Herman Cain deserves everything that came to him, and now he’s acting out like a sore loser and killing animals in retribution?
His first “SOS — Sick Of Stimulus” ad — which apparently killed a goldfish, was gross and disgusting and vile and sad.
Forgive me, but this is far worse.
I don’t know if the rabbit died. I don’t know if the goldfish died.
What I do know is that the use of these images, and the use of a little girl to get your message across, is a field day for psychiatry.
Thank God, Thank GOD Herman Cain did not become the GOP nominee, much less America’s president.
In my opinion, the man is a sick misogynistic bastard who should be in jail and kept far away from children.
