What do we think of this vivid A.I.-generated Spencer Pratt ad?

Oh my God. This is GREAT.

Humperdink કહ્યું...: I love it. Watch the Commies squeal. The depiction of Mayor Largemouth Bass is perfect.; 6/5/26 06:57 AM
Jake કહ્યું...: perfect; 6/5/26 06:58 AM
Leland કહ્યું...: It properly respects the source material in every way.; 6/5/26 07:02 AM
Howard કહ્યું...: Framing the DNC machine in the final stage of the House of Bourbon is spot on.; 6/5/26 07:02 AM
Shouting Thomas કહ્યું...: I went with “Brilliant use…”, with the proviso (unlisted) of whether or not it’s politically effective. Pratt is GOP, so whether or not it’s effective in LA is probably irrelevant.

But, I’ve often thought of the Democratic Party as the Batman villains. The Dems are always on the side of criminals and gangs. Seems to turn them on.; 6/5/26 07:04 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit કહ્યું...: In Georgia political ads they are called “failed career politicians”.; 6/5/26 07:08 AM
Rustygrommet કહ્યું...: I was watching Adam Carolla's interview of Spenser Pratt. Pratt is living in an Air Stream on his burned out lot in Pacific Palisades. He has some good ideas for LA. And LA needs them.
There is exactly one house being rebuilt on the beach in Malibu.
When you elect leftists you get LA.; 6/5/26 07:09 AM
Howard (not that Howard) કહ્યું...: Spencer Pratt has evolved.; 6/5/26 07:09 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit કહ્યું...: Joe Rogan as police commissioner?; 6/5/26 07:12 AM
Freder Frederson કહ્યું...: Weren't you all lamenting, just the other day, how it is the left that is fomenting violence and encouraging assassination attempts. And then Althouse spreads this garbage (as an academic exercise of course, she even set up a silly poll).

Of course, you love it.; 6/5/26 07:15 AM
Mary Beth કહ્યું...: Bass with Joker makeup looks a lot like I think Tim Walz would look like with Joker makeup.; 6/5/26 07:16 AM
Enigma કહ્યું...: It fits for LA, as the Hollywood theme is routine.

For good or bad, the satire is indistinguishable from true life -- see real content circa the 2020 BLM "take a knee" in African garb and SF poop/shoplifting through the 2022 Sam Brinton and Mary Poppins Ministry of Disinformation era. KBJ still keeps hope alive with her surreal 8-1 losses.; 6/5/26 07:19 AM
Aggie કહ્યું...: What has been interesting is the way the Democrats have tried to villify Pratt. Saying that he 'lives with his parents', which is true, but as I understand it, because of the fires. Moving in the trailer was a good idea, but again, it's downplayed as a publicity stunt, treating the stunt as more noteworthy than the reason for it: abysmal response from the government, dragging out permits and trying to wear out residents to keep them from rebuilding, so that the acreage can be rezoned for apartments. And so on.

They really don't feel particularly compelled to be responsive to the frustrations that are being felt as a consequence of LA's and California's policy choices. We'll see.

I was talking to a couple of native born Californians yesterday, now in their 70s. They're doing the math, they've looked at a couple of Del Webb communities in neighboring states, they dread moving but they are seriously thinking about it and investing their time in doing the homework. If California has an exodus collapse, it will have a profound effect on the US.; 6/5/26 07:20 AM
Mr. D કહ્યું...: Not for me, but I'm not the audience.; 6/5/26 07:20 AM
Dave Begley કહ્યું...: There’s plenty of violence in the Batman movies so the tomato throwing is minor.

But what was Marco doing in the ad?; 6/5/26 07:23 AM
Aggie કહ્યું...: આ ટિપ્પણી લેખક દ્વારા દૂર કરવામાં આવી છે.; 6/5/26 07:24 AM
Dave Begley કહ્યું...: Was that Hugh Jackman in the ad?; 6/5/26 07:25 AM
Aggie કહ્યું...: "...And then Althouse spreads this garbage..."

How many real-life violent events have come to pass against Progressives minding their own business, Fredo? Politically-themed violence from conservatives, for the crime of being liberal? Is the number greater than zero? I haven't heard of any, have you?; 6/5/26 07:25 AM
Michael Fitzgerald કહ્યું...: I vote for LMFAO! "Whiteface on a black woman"... Uh oh, somebody did a racism!!!! So close to Juneteenth and Black History Month, too!; 6/5/26 07:31 AM
D.D. Driver કહ્યું...: If Republicans were the targets gettijg assaulted at a banquet everyone would say it was an obvious call to violence and how dare the nasty violent left produce such dangerous filth. If *Trump* were the target it would be viewed as an "assassination threat" and they would be prosecuted.; 6/5/26 07:34 AM
Temujin કહ્યું...: Great ad. Pratt has had a number of great ads now. But it won't help. LA is about to go full Mamdani and elect a socialist, Nithya Raman.

LA does not have much margin for error as their civil society is degrading by the week. Raman will have the effect of pushing it over the edge. Good luck to all Angelenos.; 6/5/26 07:34 AM
Dave Begley કહ્યું...: Note well the full spectrum of races and ages throwing the rotten tomatoes. Looks like LA.; 6/5/26 07:34 AM
chuck કહ્યું...: The year in review.; 6/5/26 07:36 AM
planetgeo કહ્યું...: No, Freder, we love it because it's not really an ad but a documentary of what your team is doing to LA, California, and our nation.; 6/5/26 07:38 AM
Enigma કહ્યું...: @Freder --

The left has been in a breathless TDS rage since election night 2016. They laid out their goals by early 2017 per Madonna's "blow up the White House" and the fake severed head and the NYC Shakespeare play with a simulated assassination of Trump.

Real TDS actions have been nonstop ever since, to include 3 attempts against Trump, Charlie Kirk, structured lawfare, kangaroo courts, and much, much more.

Generating a film-themed satire in the land of filmmaking hardly compares. The left loved Harvey Weinstein before Trump. The left gave Polanski a standing ovation in 2003. The left fully accepted Trump as one of their own before 2016.

This era is about violent, tyranical, corrupt lefties enforcing Party discipline against NYC centrist Trump during a war of retrenchment, not the right wing.; 6/5/26 07:39 AM
Breezy કહ્યું...: The message is brilliant - the CA elites are lying liars that lie, and the peeps have called Pratt to lead the revolt because they are not having any more of it. The animation is amazing.; 6/5/26 07:41 AM
Breezy કહ્યું...: Honestly, how could Bass ever compete with or combat Pratt’s messaging?; 6/5/26 07:44 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: Yes bass the communist revolutionary who has become the wesley snipes character in demolition man; 6/5/26 07:49 AM
Big Mike કહ્યું...: Fredo masturated for 36 hours straight when he learned that 12 Normies burned to death in the Palisades Fire. Not that “straight” and he belong in the same sentence; 6/5/26 07:54 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: Alexandria the attack on rand paul, the attack on law enforcement since 2020; 6/5/26 07:55 AM
s'opihjerdt કહ્યું...: Whatever you may think of clowns and mimes, they are rarely considered racist as a group like 19th and early 29th century American "minstrels".

IOW, white face and black face are not the same.; 6/5/26 07:59 AM
Humperdink કહ્યું...: No Freder, playing by your rules now!; 6/5/26 08:02 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: Also the world of that dystopia wirh ralph fiennes; 6/5/26 08:05 AM
planetgeo કહ્યું...: Isn't it interesting that all these highly evolved, virtuous progressives are now openly on the same side as Mamdani, Bass, Wu, and other nutjob Democrats who protect and work to release actual murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals. And yet, here they are lecturing us about a satiric tomato-throwing fantasy video as "violence". Now THAT is funny.; 6/5/26 08:07 AM
Wince કહ્યું...: Marco is doing his DJ thing.; 6/5/26 08:11 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: accurate.; 6/5/26 08:14 AM
Birches કહ્યું...: I don't like it. It's too online. I don't think there's anything wrong with portraying Bass and Newsome as out of touch aristocrats. But it's weird to include Kamala and the Marco gag. He first ad in his trailer was much better.; 6/5/26 08:17 AM
tim maguire કહ્યું...: I think libel law needs to make it easier to sue people for AI portrayals. Even if it's parody or criticism, if they want to use your likeness, it should actually be you.; 6/5/26 08:22 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: There is such a law in la (which newsom has violated); 6/5/26 08:25 AM
tim maguire કહ્યું...: Shouting Thomas said... I’ve often thought of the Democratic Party as the Batman villains. The Dems are always on the side of criminals and gangs.

And they look like freaks.; 6/5/26 08:26 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: https://open.substack.com/pub/ngocomment/p/exclusive-seattle-far-left-activist?; 6/5/26 08:26 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: Poor greedy leftists. I hope their delicate corrupt feelings aren't hurt.; 6/5/26 08:26 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: આ ટિપ્પણી લેખક દ્વારા દૂર કરવામાં આવી છે.; 6/5/26 08:28 AM
Mason G કહ્યું...: Put a bullet in Trump's head.
Throw a tomato at Bass.
Exactly the same.
Both sides.
End of story.; 6/5/26 08:28 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: Because local stations would air it unlikely; 6/5/26 08:29 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: That said - the ad on balance is effective. and true.; 6/5/26 08:29 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: Democrats are taking our tax dollars and building their corrupt society with those tax dollars. Everything on the left is a pocket lining scam. cultist democrats are OK with it - because they hate Trump.; 6/5/26 08:31 AM
Not an oldster. કહ્યું...: Did it excite YOU, ann?
Wetten your pussy for your hard lil man?
Violence.... mmm, sexually entertaining?

You are a sick fuck.
Glad you two found each other.
Sick violent fucks.; 6/5/26 08:33 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: The tomato throwing part is very satisfying.; 6/5/26 08:35 AM
Ann Althouse કહ્યું...: My answer — as perhaps you can tell — was "Excellent but devolves into physical violence that distracted me from the message."

It's worse than what James Comey was indicted for. More like the severed head of Trump held up by Kathy Griffin.

I went cold when the "revolution" began with striking the oligarchs with objects, specifically objects that resemble blood. I especially objected to showing Kamala Harris hit in the eye. That's too close to things that could happen in real life.; 6/5/26 08:41 AM
Aggie કહ્યું...: I voted against the acting out of violence, which I think is a poor choice for a political ad, given the emotions that tend to run hot, especially in these polarized times. I think Pratt looks stupid masquerading as a super hero - his A.I. character doesn't pull it off, and his real-life persona doesn't appear to align with Bruce Wayne's maverick nature, either; it's just a recognizable thematic element. Bass as The Joker is much more convincing, as is Gavin.

People won't be voting for a dark superhero. They'll be voting for leadership, and leadership is mostly ideas translating into action. This is just pandering to frustration. Why not put some rapier wit on the line? Why not point out how quickly you'll lift Angelenos out of their despair? I always think it's much better to show how you're a better thinker, if you want to persuade people to vote for you.; 6/5/26 08:41 AM
mikee કહ્યું...: There used to be an old Pace Picante Sauce ad where cowboys sitting around the campfire run out, and the cook gives them a bottle of something that is not Pace brand, made in, GASP! NEW YORK CITY! The tagline of the ad was one cowboy quietly saying, "Get a rope."

Well, the issue of governance is more important than picante sauce. I'd suggest the ad does not go far enough in its treatment of scum politicians and perhaps tar, feathers, and a fence rail should be involved.; 6/5/26 08:42 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: Labrea probably has enough tar; 6/5/26 08:45 AM
Dogma and Pony Show કહ્યું...: "I think libel law needs to make it easier to sue people for AI portrayals. Even if it's parody or criticism, if they want to use your likeness, it should actually be you."

A disclaimer saying it's AI would do the trick without chilling expression. And what about political cartoons, or that 80's political ad featuring an actor who looked like Tip O'Neill?; 6/5/26 08:46 AM
Dogma and Pony Show કહ્યું...: "It's worse than what James Comey was indicted for. More like the severed head of Trump held up by Kathy Griffin."

Except here nobody is portraying or calling for anyone's murder. They're throwing tomatoes, not hand grenades.; 6/5/26 08:49 AM
mindnumbrobot કહ્યું...: I don't like the tomato throwing, especially by kids. It's not necessary to drive the message home, IMHO. That aside, until a high-ranking Democrat survives three a**a**ination attempts, the Leftists complaining about this commercial can go piss up a rope.; 6/5/26 09:04 AM
Sydney કહ્યું...: In the middle of the ad, when the Pratt character holds a baseball bat or club or something, I thought , "Oh, no, this is going to get violent and go off in a bad way," but then when they were just basically having a food fight with tomatoes, I was relieved and thought it was a good ad. Throwing rotten tomatoes is a long standing tradition of protest in the theater, is it not?; 6/5/26 09:05 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: It's a cartoon. Little kids throwing tomatoes is violent?

A squishy tomato is not even going to cause injury. Perhaps a good eye wash will do.

The REDDIT leftist demcoratic MURDERED Charlie Kirk with a real "hey fascist catch" bullet.; 6/5/26 09:10 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: This is absolutely not on the same level as a severed head.; 6/5/26 09:11 AM
Known Unknown કહ્યું...: "People won't be voting for a dark superhero. They'll be voting for leadership, and leadership is mostly ideas translating into action. This is just pandering to frustration. Why not put some rapier wit on the line? Why not point out how quickly you'll lift Angelenos out of their despair? I always think it's much better to show how you're a better thinker, if you want to persuade people to vote for you"

He has other videos and communications. One message per ad is a good way to get your point across or else you risk muddying the waters.; 6/5/26 09:11 AM
Nancy કહ્યું...: What Mason G said. It's throwing tomatoes, not raising a severed head. It is lighthearted.; 6/5/26 09:12 AM
Wince કહ્યું...: Fact is, however, Trump supporters want no actual physical harm to come to Kamala or Newsom as putative front runners crowding-out any potential normies.; 6/5/26 09:12 AM
Known Unknown કહ્યું...: "I went cold when the "revolution" began with striking the oligarchs with objects, specifically objects that resemble blood. I especially objected to showing Kamala Harris hit in the eye. That's too close to things that could happen in real life."

I thought Wisconsinites were of tougher stock.; 6/5/26 09:12 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: A PROPAGANDIZED LEFTIST REDDIT white male - was groomed by the corrupt left - and he shot and killed Charlie Kirk.; 6/5/26 09:13 AM
Known Unknown કહ્યું...: "specifically objects that resemble blood"

It's a vaudeville, lady. There's a reason it's called rottentomatoes.com; 6/5/26 09:13 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: A thrown squishy fruit will not maim or kill. it will humiliate.; 6/5/26 09:15 AM
Not an oldster. કહ્યું...: Why do you platform violence?

Google Melissa Hortman and her husband and what happened at their homes. It was a political hit, not an attempt.

Shame on you for exposing your sick fuck audience to this "excellent" entertainment....

Have you tried reading books? Does meade let you, even if he can't read or think himself?; 6/5/26 09:16 AM
Known Unknown કહ્યું...: The Hugh Jackman cameo is nice.; 6/5/26 09:17 AM
bagoh20 કહ્યું...: I think it would be better to end it at about 1/3 through before the super hero and resolve. The beginning makes you want to pick up the tomato (vote). The end makes you think someone else will do it for you.; 6/5/26 09:17 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: I liked the image of the "normals" who are fed up with democrat corruption and ineptitude - throwing fruit.; 6/5/26 09:19 AM
Known Unknown કહ્યું...: "I don't like the tomato throwing, especially by kids. "

One of the most contentious issues currently is that children have to walk through homeless encampments in parts of Los Angeles to get to school.

Whomever said this is a bit "too online" is correct. Pratt most likely won't win. He doesn't have the numbers nor the graft to make that happen in a place like LA.; 6/5/26 09:19 AM
bagoh20 કહ્યું...: In CA, and especially L.A. where I lived for 40 years, the truth is the most damning, and the best political weapon, but it still has to go up against lies, and California voters are easy marks. That's the very reason I left. I could see that they were going to be fooled over and over, and they have been.; 6/5/26 09:21 AM
bagoh20 કહ્યું...: CA voters with the highest gas prices in the nation actually voted to raise gas taxes. How are you going to fix that?; 6/5/26 09:22 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: In blue cities - the corrupt democratics are using the homeless and the durgged-out for votes. No chain of custody makes it easy for their cultists to say "You have no proof"; 6/5/26 09:23 AM
bagoh20 કહ્યું...: 90% of Californians want change, but only 40% will vote for it.; 6/5/26 09:24 AM
Aggie કહ્યું...: I'll put it a different way: I condemn incitements to violence that play off frustrations and that can spur people into action. It's pandering and manipulation. We are seeing the fruits of that now, every week at least. Suggestible minds acting out - and glorification of same.

Actual hostility on the part of truly beleaguered citizens against the politicians who have been preaching political violence - I would find hard to condemn.; 6/5/26 09:26 AM
Iman કહ્યું...: Please pass the ketchup! Best use of tomatoes in a long, long time.; 6/5/26 09:38 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: Most states are redder than we think. The corrupt left have been successful with their voting cheat machine.; 6/5/26 09:41 AM
Iman કહ્યું...: “CA voters with the highest gas prices in the nation actually voted to raise gas taxes. How are you going to fix that?”

I have a good friend who lived in Carlsbad, Ca. and who sold his home and moved to Helena, MT after that vote.

He said when a state’s voters support a tax that was so not in the voters’ best interest, you can’t fix that and it’s time to move on to greener, more intelligent pastures.; 6/5/26 09:44 AM
bagoh20 કહ્યું...: It was in 2018. I moved out right after that vote too, although I decided earlier.
The vote rejected a bill to repeal previous gas taxes, and require future ones to be voted on. They voted against their own power to decide, and now they pay the most and are getting unwanted new taxes added. To be in CA and vote to trust the politicians more is about as dysfunctional as a citizen can be.; 6/5/26 09:55 AM
Lekha Rao કહ્યું...: This ad was not done by Spencer Pratt. It's a viral ad by one of his supporters. Spencer's campaign did not produce it. Does that change your perspective?; 6/5/26 10:06 AM
Big Mike કહ્યું...: Virtual Republicans throw AI generated tomatoes at images of politicians who tried to burn them to death versus real Democrats attempting to commit actual murder against Trump and other Republicans. Althouse clutches her pearls and drops gracefully down upon her fainting couch.

Shorter Althouse: Democrats should have an exclusive monopoly on violent political imagery.; 6/5/26 10:07 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: Bagoh20
9:55
Scary stuff. Part of the reason the left are so successful in deceiving voters is they way they present it.; 6/5/26 10:12 AM
Yancey Ward કહ્યું...: If Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom were buried under a truckload of tomatoes in an accident on the I-5, would anyone really find that to be a tragedy?; 6/5/26 10:16 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: Corruptocrats are held to a different standard.

I recall someone attending a Kathy Griffin comedy show?

How could you.; 6/5/26 10:17 AM
Yancey Ward કહ્યું...: Fredo's grandma died in a freak tomato attack, so cut him some slack.; 6/5/26 10:23 AM
JayF કહ્યું...: આ ટિપ્પણી લેખક દ્વારા દૂર કરવામાં આવી છે.; 6/5/26 10:26 AM
Freder Frederson કહ્યું...: Fredo masturated for 36 hours straight when he learned that 12 Normies burned to death in the Palisades Fire. Not that “straight” and he belong in the same sentence

Had to look up "masturate" just to make sure it wasn't a reference to Somali day cares in Minnesota .

How old are you Big Mike? From the level of maturity in this comment I would guess 12 or 13. Calling me gay is so mature.; 6/5/26 10:30 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: Charlie Kirk gets a bullet. A real one. His young children will grow up without their father. All because modern leftism is actually nazism.
the left lie and say "you killed him, not us"
I have nothing to say to that but F*CK all LEFTISTS.; 6/5/26 10:31 AM
Peachy કહ્યું...: oh no! Cartoon tomatoes. Those poor poor sad humiliated delicate leftist criminals.; 6/5/26 10:36 AM
bagoh20 કહ્યું...: I agree the Comey indictment is too much, although I haven't seen what the grand jury did; there are zero threats of death or even injury in this video. The threats only include ridicule, embarrassment, needing a bath, and, admittedly, assault.; 6/5/26 10:40 AM
Levi Starks કહ્યું...: If it’s predetermined I’m going to lose an election then I’m going down swinging.; 6/5/26 10:42 AM
MikeD કહ્યું...: Y'all do realize it's not the campaigns ad, it's an ad created and distributed by third party supporters.; 6/5/26 10:46 AM
Lazarus કહ્યું...: આ ટિપ્પણી લેખક દ્વારા દૂર કરવામાં આવી છે.; 6/5/26 10:56 AM
hombre કહ્યું...: Relatively harmless, non-Democrat violence. It and the superhero stuff interfere with the best message.; 6/5/26 10:57 AM
Lazarus કહ્યું...: Some things are a hit with one's own ideological audience, but don't go over well with the mass public. You have to get through to people who have never heard of the Quality Learing Center, for example.; 6/5/26 10:57 AM
hombre કહ્યું...: With some tweaking this is the kind of ad Republicans should run depicting the destruction wrought by Democrats. Stop short of making them victims.; 6/5/26 11:04 AM
Kirk Parker કહ્યું...: Yancey,

"If Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom were buried under a truckload of tomatoes in an accident on the I-5, would anyone really find that to be a tragedy?"

I certainly would - - What a waste of perfectly good tomatoes!; 6/5/26 11:14 AM
Enigma કહ્યું...: They grow tons and tons of tomatoes in California. At harvest they ship lower grade sauce/ketchup tomatoes from the fields to the processing facilities in giant plastic or fiberglass tubs. The tubs are as large as the bed of a truck and needed to contain the leaking juice.

Bass and Newsom might 'take a bath' in tomatoes akin to kids playing in a McDonald's ball pit. It'd match the clown face makeup in this ad.; 6/5/26 11:19 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: Attack of the killer tomatoes; 6/5/26 11:34 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: આ ટિપ્પણી લેખક દ્વારા દૂર કરવામાં આવી છે.; 6/5/26 11:34 AM
narciso કહ્યું...: Thats where the seed pods in body snatchers; 6/5/26 11:45 AM
Smilin' Jack કહ્યું...: I watched it and still have no idea what Spencer Pratt is. Do they sell tomatoes or something? Some cool effects, but as an ad it’s a fail.; 6/5/26 11:49 AM
mccullough કહ્યું...: The violence won’t end until Dem politicians are subject to it. That’s just the way it is. Regrettable.; 6/5/26 11:50 AM
Leora કહ્યું...: I preferred the ad where he quotes video of a poverty pimp woman bragging about creating 64 beds for the homeless for $16 million dollars and rants about it. The real person saying ridiculous things was more convincing than the parody approach.; 6/5/26 11:53 AM
Saint Croix કહ્યું...: It's worse than what James Comey was indicted for. More like the severed head of Trump held up by Kathy Griffin.

Tomatoes
Severed Head
Seashells

one of these is not like the other; 6/5/26 12:10 PM
Saint Croix કહ્યું...: I like...

the burning Hollywood sign
the music
the evil Joker clown make-up
the DSA foot soldiers
the thrones
that damn laugh
Kamala drinking alcohol straight from the bottle
(this is all in the first six seconds)
the damn French wigs
"if you were a transgender migrant, I could get you a free pussy"
the little bit of cake on his lip
all the elites laughing and not giving a damn
"let's move the drug addicts closer"
(I think the puppet is the socialist in the race?)
Kamala drinking more alcohol
"Bass has already solved crime, I endorse her"
Joe Rogan as Commissioner Gordon
he's so sad
"save us, SP, you're our only hope" (implicit)
Wolverine, undercover as a lumberjack, begging for help
non-violent jujitsu moves against tyrannical cops
"this is a machine"
"if we want to burn this town to the ground"
tomato in the face!
screaming tyrant
little boy with fruit weapon
musical shift
shout out from Marco Rubio, very important
construction worker rebellion (aka hard hat riot)
French elite getting hit with a pie in the face
goes down from a pie barrage
cherry I think, maybe apple
multi-national civil unrest
lots of apples
veep gets an apple in the eye
and the elites go scampering into the night
alive

I see this ad as a funny attempt to express anger at out-of-touch leaders who have failed the city

quite a bit different from the assassination dreams of the left, with their severed heads and Luigi fantasies.

YMMV

it's all protected by First Amendment, of course; 6/5/26 12:32 PM
FullMoon કહ્યું...: Thought the tomatoes were bad idea until it was revealed mostly minorities were projectiling. Hopefully repub wins gov in ca. But, like Trump, would need second term to weed out backstabbers and hopefully make changes for the better.; 6/5/26 12:36 PM
loudogblog કહ્યું...: I think that this ad might also be a giant middle finger to this:
"On August 5, a Federal judge struck down a California deepfake law aimed at restricting AI-generated deepfake content during elections. California’s AB 2655, officially titled the Defending Democracy from Deepfake Deception Act of 2024, requires large online platforms to block the posting of materially deceptive content related to elections in California during specified periods, and requires platforms to label certain additional content inauthentic, fake, or false during those periods."; 6/5/26 01:17 PM
mezzrow કહ્યું...: To-may-to, To-mah-to,
Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to,
Let's throw their asses out!; 6/5/26 01:29 PM
Joe Bar કહ્યું...: Sadly, even this won't save LA from itself. They'll probably elect the Harvard-educated nutjob who thinks it's too easy to cut catalytic converters off cars.; 6/5/26 01:49 PM
Tina Trent કહ્યું...: In my little tomato town in Florida, there was a century-old tradition of holding an annual tomato-throwing fight with the subar vegetables left on the vines. Also, earlier, among many festivals in Italy.

Why not? The entire point of festivals is to reverse roles. We need more of this.; 6/5/26 01:49 PM
Peachy કહ્યું...: NO> Throwing a tomato is not the same as a realistic bloody severed head by an unusually ugly and un-funny leftwing comedian. Who made money off of Trump.; 6/5/26 01:52 PM
Tina Trent કહ્યું...: I do agree the violent image is too pointed for national viewing. But I experienced being pelted with a rotting tomato as being pelted with a rotting tomato, and nothing more or less. Look at the long, long history of throwing vegetables at politicians.

Maybe too esoteric, or visceral, now. OK. I don't know who this guy is.; 6/5/26 01:56 PM
Michael Fitzgerald કહ્યું...: Peachy said...
This is absolutely not on the same level as a severed head.

Althouse is a Democrat Party member. Their violence is free speech, and our free speech is violence.
Fugly hack libtard comic holds up bloody severed head- HAHAHA I love you!!!!
Cartoon where normies throw tomatoes at despicable corrupt Democrat Party politicians- Oh the humanity!; 6/5/26 02:49 PM
Peachy કહ્યું...: Saint Croix - I like that stuff, too!
Excellent list.

"Little boy with Fruit weapon" !!!!!

It's a way for the innocent to fight back.

poor delicate dems / feelz & waaaaaa; 6/5/26 04:04 PM
Peachy કહ્યું...: Watched it again - I love it even more.

Esp when That incompetent mayor is hit in the face with ... fruit.; 6/5/26 04:07 PM
Peachy કહ્યું...: I like the puppet Nithya Raman. She's in the lead for mayor- and flypaper- she is yet another USA hating progressive.; 6/5/26 04:10 PM
Jim at કહ્યું...: આ ટિપ્પણી લેખક દ્વારા દૂર કરવામાં આવી છે.; 6/5/26 04:12 PM
Peachy કહ્યું...: REDDIT Dems use real bullets.

The rest of us - normals - have fruit.; 6/5/26 04:13 PM
Jim at કહ્યું...: Weren't you all lamenting, just the other day, how it is the left that is fomenting violence and encouraging assassination attempts.

Again, are we shooting people, Freder? No. We are not. You are.

So until then, go fuck yourself.; 6/5/26 04:13 PM
Iman કહ્યું...: Back in the day in SoCal, interesting conversations could be had cruising Sunset Blvd - looking for a little hippie nookie - and picking up hitchhiking hippie chicks wearing a red jumpsuit with tomatoes and standing there with a puppy, cuz she was a hippie chick.; 6/5/26 04:20 PM
john mosby કહ્યું...: Tina Trent: "The entire point of festivals is to reverse roles."

Then we are in our second four-year Saturnalia! We've elected our King of Misrule. And to clarify, I am saying this like it's a good thing. CC, JSM; 6/5/26 04:23 PM
wildswan કહ્યું...: Slowly comes an angry people.; 6/5/26 05:03 PM
Leland કહ્યું...: I think Democrats want to talk about this ad, because the other big news in LA this week is the arsonist that started the Palisade fire was inspired by Luigi Mangione. Why discuss real violence that resulted in the death of 12 people, when you can discuss characterized violence.; 6/5/26 05:06 PM
Mason G કહ્યું...: Message to Republicans: "Don't say things (or create memes or videos) that hurt Democrats' feelings. It's just mean. Just sit down, shut up and let them keep trying to kill you."; 6/5/26 06:34 PM
Howard કહ્યું...: Iman confession of his taste for strange picking up Kandy Darling, Lola el oh el ay Lola and Holly from Miami F-L-A on Sunset back in the day. NTTAWWT; 6/5/26 06:38 PM
Iman કહ્યું...: No, Howard… my proclivities never matched yours. You and yer hanging out @Walden Pond with Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman types.

I’d just be cruisin’ down Sunset Blvd. in a lavender El Dorado station wagon… with a white metal flake vinyl top on it… and purple tinted windows…; 6/5/26 07:03 PM
Howard કહ્યું...: Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean
Gangsta whitewalls, TV antennas in the back; 6/5/26 08:15 PM
Howard કહ્યું...: Walden Pond was 60°F this morning. No more ice cream headaches. Saw a bald eagle fly the length of the pond coasting on updrafts before landing in his perch.; 6/5/26 08:18 PM
Iman કહ્યું...: “Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean

Saw this car, everything as described, when leaving the L.A. Auto Show with my father and a nephew back in the early 2000s. We checked each item off as we drove alongside of it.

A good laugh we had, lol.; 6/5/26 10:24 PM
Leland કહ્યું...: Mark Hamill, last seen standing next to President Obama who ordered his intelligence officials to spy on an opposition campaign based a fake dossier, posted on Bluesky an image of Donald Trump dead on a grave with a date of 2024, and then wrote clearly that he hoped Trump would live just long enough to lose in the midterm, be impeached, and then then die. It was all in total sincerity.

Pratt’s video is an obvious parody. Like an humor, it includes truthful elements, such as residents begging for the permission to rebuild their homes. The violence is throwing vegetables. It is not death threats. The very real fire that is hurting Karen Bass’s electoral chances was started by a progressive motivated by the same rhetoric on display at the Met Gala.; 7/5/26 05:48 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) કહ્યું...: Remember when the Left went orgasmic over “The Assassination of George W Bush”theatrical release? It was edgy! But some rando creates an AI that goes viral showing tomato throwing and that’s too far? This is the true Civility Bullshit. Where their simulated Trump bloody head is just free speech but a cartoon food fight is violence.

Privileged Civility Bullshit.; 7/5/26 05:55 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) કહ્યું...: Funny how Hamill waited for his video with Barry that reminded people Mark still exists before issuing his entry in the growing pile of assassination pron made by celebrities.; 7/5/26 05:57 AM
