Political and humor junkies better head right over to catch the
first online animated campaign commercial in Kinky Friedman’s
2006 independent race to be governor of Texas. It’s called I Looove Texas,
As the weblog post launching the ad explains:
Narrated by Friedman, “I Looove Texas” features
endangered cowboys, sexy cheerleaders, and stereotypical politicians
proclaiming their love for Jesus. It shows Texas through the
unconventional eyes of Kinky and reminds Texans they have another
choice for governor next year-a true Texas independent.
“I grew up in Texas, I played music in Texas, I wrote my mystery
novels in Texas, and I have traveled the world, but Texas is my home,”
Friedman says in his KinkyToon(TM).
Not having a giant campaign warchest, the mystery-writing-ex-country-rocker
says, “We’re asking our supporters to distribute the ad to friends and family
so that it spreads like a bad rumor.” It left me smilin’, so pass it on.
We reviewed Kinky’s latest nonfiction book, Texas Hold ‘Em:
How I Was Born in a Manger, Died in the Saddle, and Came
Back as a Horny Toad (St. Martin’s Press, 2005), here.
