If you haven't yet seen the bizarre Jack Nicholson ad for the Hillary campaign, well, feast your eyes on the video above, sure to be studied as the ultimate example of celebrity endorsements gone wrong by generations of poli-sci majors enrolled in "Hillary '08: Sketches In Failure." In it, a variety of trademark Nicholson psychopaths mumble vaguely pro-Clinton lines of out-of-context dialogue. (Good thing, too, as the line pulled from A Few Good Men, Gawker point out, is followed by the very un-presidential rumination, "Promote 'em all, I say, 'cause this is true: if you haven't gotten a blowjob from a superior officer, well, you're just letting the best in life pass you by.")

From where could such a misguided act of campaign desperation have originated? Why, Hollywood, of course! Towleroad spoke to the "two gay filmmakers" responsible for it, screenwriter/director John Krokidas and producer Bruce Cohen:

Towleroad: How do you respond to those who might twist it into a negative thing?

While the piece does profess real reasons we believe Hillary to be the stronger Democratic candidate for president, it is also a satire of your typical politics-as-usual campaign endorsement ad. We have Jack Nicholson, the iconic bad-boy of Hollywood, standing up and voicing his support for a presidential candidate. How can you not make a spot with him that doesn't reflect all of his devilish charm and wit?

While the Nicholson ad probably sounded more fun on paper than in execution, an increasingly desperate Clinton campaign is thrilled with the attention it has received. Hoping for more unsettling celeb endorsements, they've reportedly been courting Ellen Page aggressively to tape a spot in which she expresses her long-held desire to hug the first female candidate for President of the United States with her legs.
