"The Rock" Worst Political Ad Ever? Mike Gravel 2008 Democratic Nominee Ad (Lost Media)

You may be wondering what "The Rock" Mike Gravel meant by this ad where he throws a rock at the water after thinking about it for a couple minutes. So was everyone at the time, and now over a decade later we've learned nothing. It's like The Simpsons, "Old man yells at cloud." This ad has been described as "absurd" and "stupid" and "ineffective" and "weird." But it's pretty funny. I mean. He has a lot of anger in his heart, and that can be funny. Also his last name is "Gravel" and he threw a rock. Just wanted to point that out in case anyone missed it.

This rock through was poll tested:

Even the lolbertarians (libertarians) over at Reason liked him:
