Anyone that knows this blog(at last count 12 of you)knows that I kinda stick to three subjects. Those three subjects happen to be music,politics and random acts of failure. One of my favorite sites to check when I need a random act of failure is FailBlog. I seriously love that site. While looking for a random video of a douchebag falling off of a skateboard I ran across this piece of awesomeness that basically connects the main subjects of my blog. What you're about to see below is the Meg Whitman(currently running for governor of CA as a republican) campaign ad thats currently on the front page of FailBlog and below that is a nice little bonus. Watch and enjoy the campaign ad failure below.
It turns out that the good people at Failblog.org don't like it when you use them for political gain. I'm only saying that because of this letter they sent her campaign along with a nice picture of her.
Some of you have emailed us concerning a political attack video by the Meg Whitman campaign for California governor which features a screenshot of FAIL Blog attacking the other candidate Jerry Brown. We want to make it VERY clear that FAIL Blog nor the Cheezburger Network had any involvement or knowledge of the Whitman campaign use of a screenshot of FAIL Blog. In fact, the screenshot portrayed in the video never existed because the Whitman campaign faked the content within the screenshot. FAIL Blog or the Cheezburger Network has never been involved in any endorsement of any candidate or political party and do not plan to do so.
This is a place for humor, a place to laugh, and to have light-hearted fun poking at each other and what we see in the world. The FAIL Blog community involves liberals, conservatives and everyone across the political spectrum. And we do not endorse the use of FAIL Blog’s image or any content on any of the Cheezburger sites for anyone’s political gain.
We demand a written apology from the Whitman campaign and the removal of the video.
Sincerely,
Ben Huh, Founder of the Cheezburger Network
P.S. Jerry Brown, you better not be thinking of using this image or post in your political ad either.
