Anybody been watching the free campaign ads on TV5?

I'm glad they're doing it...but sometimes, it's pretty clear why those candidates can't manage to PAY for their ads.

My favorite was the guy who said he was from mid-town Anchorage(although he filmed his ad out in the woods somewhere)but who managed to get all the way THROUGH the ad without ever telling us what office he was running FOR.

Then there was the biker dude-looking guy who had a big "LaRouche Says Impeach Obama" sign in the background of his ad(because if you REALLY want to impress voters in this state, there's NO better approach than to associate yourself with the man who told us about the conspiracy between the Rothschilds, Queen Elizabeth II and Henry Kissinger). I THINK he was running for Congress, but I'm still not sure why.

Anybody else enjoying those ads for all the wrong reasons?
