Recently, Jack Nicholson endorsed Senator Hillary Clinton for President and released this commercial to how his support. If you have not seen it, it features Nicholson in his famous roles and asks questions about which candidate is best to lead from Day One, etc.
I always love campaign commercials and rely on them in class. This one falls under the odd and terrible side though, like the recent will.i.am "We are the Ones" endorsement. Why is the Jack ad bad? Well, consider that it features him as a psycho, a psycho, a gangster, a rebel, and an army officer that denigrates women (i.e sexism from an approved source is okay, right?). It seems to be more of a tribute to Jack than Hillary.
But here is the commercial and maybe I am wrong, which happens more often than not.

Odd, indeed.
To add to my earlier commentary: I find the last clip from A Few Good Men especially unusual. "There's nothing more sexy than a woman you have to salute in the morning." This sounds more like an advertisement for Strangé than a political endorsement.
I just checked around to see if there was any public reaction from the Clinton camp to this ad. Not a word. I guess it's not a good idea to piss off a madman like Nicholson by saying no thanks, even to a crazy ad like this!
