Mike Gravel will rock you

This has to be one of the most absurd political ads I've ever seen. Literally, it's former Senator and 2008 Democratic Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel (pronounced Gr-ahh-vell) staring at a camera for 72 seconds, then throwing a rock in a pond, and then walking away.

No words.

Barely any blinking.

Maybe my sense of metaphor has diminished as I near the end of my 20s. Instead it's been replaced by a need to share puns. So I went to a hardware store this weekend and ran into a jellyfish who was trying to buy ten drills.

*rimshot*

Does Mike Gravel remind anyone of the grandfather from the Werther's Original commercial from the 1980s/90s? Maybe only grumpier?
