Actually, Mike saw it, and he backed it up so I could see it because he was laughing so hard.
Go ahead and watch it before you read the rest of this post. I’ll wait.
Done? Okay.
“Sales . . . Income . . . Cars . . . Death . . . CANDY!”
I have watched it four additional times, and it’s still making me laugh. I can’t help it. Who puts candy after death? Who thought this was a good idea? NOT THE CANDY! DON’T TAX THE CANDY! How does candy fit into that list?
(Actually, it’s probably targeting issues people most care about. Give me candy or give me death!)

I especially love that they used the Chipotle typeface.
I knew it was coming, and I still laughed hysterically.
i wonder if the people who wrote the blip think, “man, that’s a really stupid ad.” when they see it, or if they still think it’s effective. i mean, seriously, “CANDY?” at least they’re right on time for everyone buying their halloween candy.
i definitely was not expecting it to come across like that. what kind of person raises taxes on CANDY? apparently that candidate is a socialist!
Life without candy is just not worth living. With candy taxed, who can afford it?
(Junk food tax is a great idea.)
