Check out this astonishing political ad in the upcoming New Orleans elections. The ad from Dwight McKenna, a candidate for Orleans Parish Coroner, attacks the incumbent coroner, Frank Minyard, as a Dr. Frankenstein who sells body parts — complete with an assistant Igor, from out of the old Universal Studios movies!
“Igor! Igor!” the mad scientist says.
“Yes, Doctor!” the hunchbacked assistant replies.
“We need a heart, a spleen, and a liver, for tonight’s sale!”
“Yes, Dr. Minyard!”
All of us here at TPM initially thought this was too good to be true. But Kevin Allman from The Gambit assured us that it is in fact running on local television, and that he himself saw it just last night during a commercial break in the mayoral debate.
