Hillary Clinton's most recent typical campaign ad begins with her saying, "If you're looking for a typical political commercial, change the channel. Because this is an apolitical election."

I was thinking about why that line is particularly cringe-worthy. Aside from the obvious fact that she goes on to sound like a wonky politician for the next 45 seconds, just like every other commercial she's put out, it's the fact that she actually thinks someone might be sitting down in front of his or her television set, saying, "Gee, I sure hope I see a typical political commercial when I turn the TV on." Nobody wants to see that shit!

When I turn the TV on, I want to see dinosaur fights. Not political commercials. Get outta here with all that noise.
