Bobby Jindal Campaign Announcement = All Kinds of Cringe

So there are about a gabzillion people running for the Republican presidential candidate nomination.

What’s a latecomer to the race left to do to get people talking?

How about release a slice of life attempt at a “viral video” featuring mommy and daddy telling their kids daddy’s decided to run for President?

So bad

  • the camera is positioned high in a tree so it looks like something off voyeur.com
  • you can’t even see the candidate because his head is obscured by a branch
  • the audio is terrible and the video quality isn’t much better
  • the kids couldn’t be more disinterested in hearing their dad’s amazing news
  • dad trying to bribe the kids with a trip to IOWA! “if you behave” to get them excited
  • Jindal and his wife generally talking to their kids like a normal person might talk to a piece of wood
  • …and after all of the above, they still decided to release this as their launch announcement! (Although it’s at 200,000 views as I type this so…success?)

I am seriously starting to believe the conspiracy theory that a lot of candidates (*cough* Trump *cough*) are simply running to make other candidates look a lot more palatable/sane/human.
