No, I'm just making fun of Harper's fake "I'm such a nice guy" ads that show him being a downright decent guy even though HE IS NOT. And he particularly does not like Teh Gays. And have you ever seen him wearing a pair of shorts? No? WELL?
The "get tough on crime" freaks me out. Who's he supposed to be talking to? Kids? His dog? He sure as hell isn't talking to the people watching the ad. Unless he's talking to their feet.
I actually wish that the ads weren't quite so good. The production value is superb, and he's obviously been coached extremely well. The gentle music, the self-effacing expression, and soft quiet well-thought-out words. The whole thing is perniciously targeted towards humanizing Harper and making him seem approachable and thoughtful. Because the real Harper - calculating, distrustful, contemptuous, mean - just wasn't selling so well. But that is the guy who will end up with his ass back in the PM's chair in three weeks if this message prevails.
The ads remind me of nothing so much as "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy" as seen in DOCTOR DUCKS'S SUPER-SECRET ALL-PURPOSE SAUCE and later on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Everything is so mild and soft that the whole is positively shapeless.
