• Comedy Central to Show Political Ads

    The CC Insider is reporting that The Huffington Post reports that Comedy Central is reporting it will broadcast political ads during the campaign season for the first time in the channel's history.

    The first political ad, shown on both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, was paid for by the group MoveOn.org, which seems to be some sort of trucking industry lobby.

    As the political season winds down, other networks are sure to also broadcast ads from the following third party candidates, should they raise enough cash to do so.

    Ralph Nader, Independent
    History Channel

    Bob Barr, Libertarian Party
    Home Shopping Network

    Roger Calero, Socialist Worker's Party
    Fox News

    Cynthia McKinney, Green Party
    Disney Channel

    Charles O. Baldwin, Constitution Party
    C-Span 6

    Matthew Jay Borman, American Party
    American Channel

    John R. Crockford, Peace and Freedom Party
    Adult Swim

    See MoveOn's ad, which features Willow's Wiccasexual girlfriend (Amber Benson) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, on the Insider.
