The vibe I got was more Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy than Velvet Underground, but this ad is unmistakably weird.
In Ocean, sappy and scenic footage of the sea at sunset plays on the screen while Mitt drones on with a tenuous analogy (borrowed from Peggy Noonan) comparing depraved modern secular culture to the ocean. [...]
After receiving a manifesto from “the Splasher” (person(s) unknown who’s been defacing street art around NYC over the last few months), Gothamist checks in with a lengthy critique and analysis. The gut shot is below:

Glenn Greenwald connects the dots. Surprisingly, the CEO Presidency can’t seem to handle the most basic record-retention tasks. I can’t wait to see Bush apologists try to deny that this is the behavior of people with something to hide.
