What is more catchy: B.o.B's "Nothing On You ft. Bruno Mars" or the Quebec Liberal attack ad?





Do you remember the Conservative smear ads, a couple of weeks ago? No doubt you remember that creepy voice, and the creepy red background? No? Ok, heres a link, and another link to refresh your memory. Anyways, the Liberals have responded with there own "attack" ad in Quebec. It is by far, the funniest political attack ad I have ever seen. The whole thing is one long Quebecois cartoon, featuring someone kicking the world, someone with a noose around their neck hanging, and a tractor running over a man. All drawn with cartoons worse than an episode of South Park. Here's the link for the Liberal's smear ad. Even if you don't speak French, the childish cartoons tell the story.

This ad is so funny. Personally, I wish we had more political ads like this in Ontario. The Conservatives ads were bad and used quotes out of context. The Liberal's ad doesn't even take itself seriously, it's like the intro to Looney Tunes. The Conservative party agrees with me, when I say their ads were garbage, seeing as how they pulled their own ads less than 2 days after they started running them.

I could dance to that. The "Pucapab, Pucapab, Pucapab" verse is stuck in my head, it's like the chorus in B.o.B's "Nothing on You ft. Bruno Mars" You know that verse that goes like, "They got nothing on youu baby, N-N-N-Nothing on youu baby...", well now thats "Pucapab, Pucapab, Pubcapab". Only French. "Pucapab" in English means, "more than capable" or "plus-capable". On any note, I should stop listening to Z103.5

I've translated the ad below, to the best of my (the internet's) ability, for all you Anglo-only folks. Maybe the translation is so bad, or maybe Quebecois humour is just really weird, but its deep stuff:

Conservatives love fighter planes,
there is nothing for families but billions for them (fighter planes).
G8, G20, it cost some money,
The country has never been this in debt.
Conservatives rewrite history
But unfortunately they have black ink (?).
When we lost our seat at the UN,
it was the first time we were excluded.
PUCAPAB, PUCAPAB, PUCAPAB!

The Conservatives are against Kyoto.
The environment gives them nothing. (?)
Stephen Harper is a friend of the Oil. (lol)
He protects it more than the Earth.
Conservatives talk about the economy.
But the more they talk, the more people become impoverished.
If this continues we will be on the streets.
PUCAPAB, PUCAPAB, PUCAPAB!

The Conservatives are the champions.
for blocking access to information.
Our democracy is being pushed around,
even women are threatened to riot.
The Conservatives have reduced support and respect for minorities,
and when Stephen Harper talks about the death penalty,
he sends shivers through the body.
The Conservatives only think about punishment, and those who disagree must stay behind (menacing picture).
If you do not agree with Stephen Harper, they'll insult you, they'll try fear.
I'm tired and ashamed of the government.
We have to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Stephen Harper's Conservatives are not my company, they do not represent my values.
PUCAPAB, PUCAPAB, PUCAPAB!
