Presidential candidate John McCain has released a new ad comparing rival Barack Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton and questioning his readiness to lead.
Yes, we’re serious.
The aforementioned gossip mainstays appear in a brief montage as a narrator describes Barack Obama as “the biggest celebrity in the world.”
The narrator then asks “Is he ready to lead?” and proceeds to list off a series of vague positions supposedly held by the Democratic Illinois Senator.

To us, it seems like your boilerplate Republican ad, criticizing the Democrats over taxes, foreign policy, etc. … with random pics of Britney Spears for good measure.
In short, a vote for Obama is a vote for a girl who shaved her head, was hospitalized for after a psychotic episode, and who eschews pants at nightclubs. Nice!
