Somebody pinch me -- the ultimate craptacular synthesis of pop culture and politics has arrived, in the form of Terry Tate, Office Linebacker. Remember the Reebok Superbowl ad? Well, they're extending the brand by running a fictional character in the California recall election. As a joke. Ha ha, electoral democracy, what a hoot! I actually used to work in the legal department at Reebok, and I remember the futility of trying to rein in the marketing department...but this is ridiculous. Isn't it? Isn't it?!!
