People are calling the new federal Conservative advertisements "attack ads," but they're actually really funny, so I'm going to call them "humour ads."
The new humour ads came out this week, and the great thing is it's not just an ad, it's a whole campaign.
Here's the website: Not a Leader.
On that website, you can read about why Liberal leader Stephane Dion is not a leader, then you can listen to audio that explains why he's not a leader, and then you can watch a video that tells you why Stephane Dion is not a leader.
If that's not enough, you can read about why Stephane Dion's dog, Kyoto, doesn't think Dion is a leader.
It's a brilliant campaign. It makes bashing Dion fun. It is the kind of thing one might send to one's friends, if one was a big enough politics dork to find this stuff interesting.
Now the question: when will the Liberals fight back? Or are they going to fight back? So far, the fight between Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Dion is like a fight between Bob Probert and a bag of popcorn.
